VIFF 2022: Ever Deadly
Written by Alexander Reams
““Ever Deadly” opens with a 7-minute throat singing sequence. It’s simultaneously intense and empyreal, there is an otherworldly aspect to the singing. I’d go even further and say the film encapsulates its 90-minute runtime in those opening seven. A feat for a lot of directors, but…”

The Menu
Written by Michael Clawson
“Though it is intermittently pretty funny, what the movie can’t overcome is its shoddy writing. As a satire of class, food culture, and the soul-sucking effect of money and elitism on any form of creativity, “The Menu” is badly muddled. As Slowik ritualistically terrorizes…”

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
Written by Alexander Reams
“Appel is in his debut here and yet seems more confident behind the camera than some seasoned directors, it’s bold and he embraces the strangeness of Weird Al with this reverence for what he did while still making this a comedy first and refraining from the melodramatic plot…”

Andor (Season 1)
Written by Anna Harrison

The Fabelmans
Written by Patrick Hao
“Throughout Steven Spielberg’s “The Fablemans,” there are often allusions to John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.” Not only is the film and its filmmaker, Ford (as the movie will depict), an immense influence on Spielberg, but its central theme may be the skeleton key to…”
