WHAT'S LOVE GO TO DO WITH IT Directed by Shekhar Kapur United Kingdom | 2022 | 108m | English, Urdu Sliding between London and Lahore, love and friendship, tradition and iconoclasm, What’s Love Got To Do With It? is an effervescent romantic comedy that refuses to adhere to easy explanations. Directed by Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth, Bandit Queen) from a smart, worldly screenplay by Jemima Khan, the film is buoyed by an ensemble that includes Lily James (Darkest Hour, Yesterday), Shazad Latif (The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), and Academy Award winner Emma Thompson (The Children Act, An Education). Striking a rare balance between respect for custom and belief in the power of romance, What’s Love Got To Do With It? takes its title’s query to heart, posing tough questions to true believers in both camps while taking a zigzag voyage toward that magic moment where autonomy and matrimony intersect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LqOp2MNwao |

RICEBOY SLEEPS Directed by Gail Maurice (Canada, 2022) Canada | 2022 | 117m | English, Korean In the 1990s, a young widow named So-young (Choi Seung-yoon) moves from South Korea to Canada with her young son, Dong-hyun (Dohyun Noel Hwang). Neither of them speaks English very well or understands the cultures of their new home. But this is where they live now, where Dong-hyun will grow up, and they’ll make the best of it. Vancouver director Anthony Shim distinguishes himself as a storyteller of piercing honesty and remarkable specificity, unpacking the lives of So-young and Dong-hyun over a decade of change and adaptation. (Dong-hyun is played as a teen by Ethan Hwang.) Riceboy Sleeps lays out its interwoven stories simply, shifting between the different perspectives of its protagonists. Poignantly capturing Dong-hyun’s loneliness and frustration alongside So-young’s isolation and sacrifices, Shim keeps the film compassionate and poetic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve0v0SoNSM4 |

(please note this movie is on MONDAY night) BLACKBERRY Matt Johnson Canada | 2023 | 122m | English Matt Johnson’s masterfully crafted film is a workplace comedy for fans of the Social Network and The Big Short. Adapted from Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff’s book Losing the Signal, BlackBerry is a tale about the invention of the now-defunct smartphone that is as funny as it is riveting. In the late ’90s, Research In Motion was just a humble tech outfit selling modems in Waterloo, Ontario. Best friends and co-founders Mike Lazaridis (Jay Baruchel) — a soft-spoken tech whiz who’s the brains of the operation — and Douglas Fregin (Matt Johnson) — a headband-donning, nerve-grating goof — are trying to sell a product they call PocketLink, a never-before-seen combination of cellphone, email device, and pager. The telecom world isn’t impressed with Mike and Doug’s invention, but a domineering, foul-mouthed salesman named Jim Balsillie (Glenn Howerton) is. Jim sees the device’s potential and brokers a deal to acquire part of RIM in exchange for cash. What follows is the gut-wrenching and side-splitting story of the meteoric rise and catastrophic fall of the world’s first handheld computer. BlackBerry is a Canadian story told with tremendous national pride by Canadian talent. The three visionaries at the centre of this tale, despite their device’s ultimate descent into obsolescence, changed the way the world communicates today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2UHKOMZkyE |

I LIKE MOVIES Chandler Levack Canada | 2022 | 99m | English I Like Movies, is set in Burlington, Ontario in 2003, when video stores were still going strong and any kid with a camcorder could declare themself a filmmaker. Lawrence Kweller has a video camera and a lone best friend, Matt (Percy Hynes White), who is happy to be co-star, cinematographer, key grip, and whatever else Lawrence needs to act out his artistic aspirations. But Lawrence also believes that being an artist means never having to say you’re sorry. He treats his friend terribly, treats his mother (Krista Bridges) even worse, and has little patience for the customers at the local Sequels video store where he works part-time, much to the dismay of his manager (Romina D’Ugo). He remains obsessed with getting into NYU Film School — surely everyone will recognize his genius, right? The true central question of I Like Movies isn’t whether Lawrence will alienate anyone who ever liked him, but whether he’ll be able to win them back once he does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssuMrHK5jmY |
