Eli Glasner CBC News Jul 17, 2026 4/5 This is a story steeped in a time of magic and myth. Like the sirens luring men to their doom, it's here where Nolan's more modern tone and approach clashes with the otherworldly challenges Odysseus encounters. Go to Full Review The Odyssey (2026) 94% - -

Eli Glasner CBC News Network Jun 4, 2026 4.5/5 This film has musicality. The editing, the sound design, the way it brings you into Nikki's world and then this story of these two broken people who find each other. The movie in some ways, Daniel Roher has been building to.

Eli Glasner CBC Radio Feb 11, 2025 5/5 Under this wonderfully deadpan droll comedy, Rankin who lost his mother before the pandemic, has made a film about community, identity and coming home. Go to Full Review Universal Language (2024) 95% - -

Eli Glasner CBC News Network Jan 27, 2025 3.5/5 A masterclass in acting that's hard to watch, but that's the point. You might see someone you know here. It's a very relatable performance. Go to Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% - -

Eli Glasner CBC News Nov 25, 2024 3/5 Some of Mescal's best roles are his quietest, where we can imagine the complicated thoughts dancing behind his sad eyes.

Eli Glasner CBC News Aug 2, 2024 5/5 While prisons are often seen as a place of punishment, Sing Sing is about the living, breathing work of rehabilitation. You can see it in the faces of the actors on opening night and in the careful choice of language. Go to Full Review Sing Sing (2023) 97% - -

Eli Glasner CBC News Jul 28, 2024 4/5 In the end, I was most pleased with what the movie was not. This isn't a bridge to a new era of Marvel movies. It's not the magic solution to erase Disney's shambolic efforts of the last few years. Really, this is Deadpool's party. Go to Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 77% - -

Eli Glasner CBC News Network May 2, 2024 4/5 You will laugh, you will shriek, you may cover your eyes.

Eli Glasner CBC News May 1, 2024 4/5 There's a bracing vulnerability to Clennon as Benjamin that grounds his 48-hour journey, as the musician battles through a cycle of shame and self-sabotage while somehow still trying to prepare for an upcoming show.

Eli Glasner CBC News Apr 13, 2024 4.5/5 Civil War captures a very 21st-century feeling of helplessness. War isn't hell, it just is. The reasons, the cause, it's all irrelevant — this is just another thing to endure. Go to Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% - -

Eli Glasner CBC News Network Feb 5, 2024 3.75/5 Based on director Molly McGlynn's own experiences, Fitting In is a blunt, bold and funny coming-of-age film like no other. Go to Full Review Fitting In (2023) 96% - -

Eli Glasner CBC News Network Jan 30, 2024 5/5 It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. This is the best, most potent and powerful thing DuVernay has ever done. Everything she's filmed, the documentaries, the crowd scenes for the march in Selma, all of it led up to Origin. Go to Full Review Origin (2023) 82% - -

Eli Glasner CBC News Dec 1, 2023 5/5 What connects the real and the recreation is the unbridled sense of joy.

Eli Glasner CBC News Oct 20, 2023 5/5 While the 206 minute runtime may seem intimidating, from the opening frame to the final shot I was fully engaged.
