Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Oct 22, 2026 While not every line of dialogue that escapes Fisherwoman’s mouth is a laugh riot, Colman’s delivery ensures that they are at least interesting, unexpected and eyebrow-raising.

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Oct 22, 2026 A dire endeavour that manages to bungle every element that made Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 novel so beautiful and provocative. Go to Full Review Klara and the Sun (2026) 26% - -

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Oct 22, 2026 It is not as if Lee doesn’t trust his audience here, and the end result will linger for days.

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Oct 22, 2026 Sacha Baron Cohen’s Ali G: Who Iz I? represents a deeply depressing full-circle moment for an artist who was once one of modern comedy’s sharpest satirists. Go to Full Review Ali G: Who Iz I? (2026) 39% - -

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Oct 21, 2026 For a movie about a pile of sentient goo that can will itself to look like anyone or anything, there is a disheartening lack of self-awareness, or self-respect, when it comes to Clayface’s blatant cinematic cribbing. Go to Full Review Clayface (2026) 78% - -

Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Oct 20, 2026 This won’t go down as one of Tucci’s finest films, but it’s a fun way to pass a cold October night when you’re looking for a horror or Hallmark romance alternative. Go to Full Review Masterplan (2026) 31% - -

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Oct 20, 2026 Not every film needs a sense of restraint, but there is a weightlessness to this wannabe epic’s maximalism that drains its ultimate impact. Go to Full Review La Bola Negra (2026) 86% - -

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Oct 20, 2026 A startling, radical, evolutionary work of documentary cinema built on a triangulation of characters who are the evil geniuses of our era -- not only the greatest movie of the year, but also the most essential.

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Oct 20, 2026 This sense of emotional authenticity extends, or perhaps is more a direct result of, the beautiful, heartbreaking performances from the cast, who all understand the material without ever feeling chained by it.
