​Happening
Directed by Audrey Diwan (France, 2021)

Winner at the Venice film festival, Audrey Diwan’s film adaptation of the novel by Annie Ernaux follows Anne, a talented young woman in France in 1963, who struggles to find a way to abort a pregnancy in order to finish her studies and escape the social constraints of a working-class family. Anne must reconcile her own future and fredom with a decision that goes against the laws of the day. Beautifully directed by Audrey Diwan, Happening is an honest and timely exploration of the consequences of a society where women's desires, choices, and sexuality are censured.

Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song
Directed by Dan Geller, Dayna Goldfine (USA , 2022)

Spanning decades of his life and work, Hallelujah traverses Leonard Cohen's rise from Canadian poet to iconic musical artist. The documentary is a deep exploration into the artistry of Cohen, particularly his record label's rejection of his work and his subsequent musical failures. Though Cohen worked on his hit song for many years, Hallelujah only began to find its wings after iconic covers from the likes of Bono, k.d. lang, Celine Dion, Rufus Wainwright, Brandi Carlile, Bob Dylan, John Cale, and most notably, Jeff Buckley. In the song, we witness a man grappling with his faith and love, which comes through in archival images and interviews with Cohen. The documentary also features interviews with Carlile, Dylan, Clive Davis, Adrienne Clarkson, Eric Church, and more. Fans young and old will not want to miss this film about one of Canada's most prolific artists.

Rosie
Directed by Gail Maurice (Canada, 2022)

Metis writer-director-actor Gail Maurice's feature film debut tells the story of a suddenly orphaned Indigenous girl and her newly chosen family in Montreal in the 1980s.
Rosie is a sweet, headstrong six-year-old whose mother has just died. An anglophone, Rosie's only living relative is her francophone aunt, Frederique, who at 37 has trouble holding down a job. Fred's living situation is fragile at best, and the notion of taking in a child somehow inspires her to both fight and flee.

​The Good House
Directed by Maya Forbes, Wallace Wolodarsky
(USA, 2021)


Based on Ann Leary's bestselling novel, The Good House follows Hildy Good (Sigourney Weaver), a wry New England realtor and descendant of the Salem witches, whose business success and sharp wit mask her history of complicated personal relationships – and a tendency to overindulge in wine (or vodka if she sees fit). Her compartmentalized life begins to fall apart as she reunites with an old high-school flame, earthy contractor and handyman Frank Getchell (Kevin Kline). Long-repressed emotions are ignited, family secrets emerge, and Hildy is propelled toward a reckoning with the one person she's been avoiding for decades: herself.
It's a delight to see Weaver and Kline form such an authentic connection on screen in this surprising, funny, and touching film.
