Review of Dear Frankie (2004)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 15 Apr 2005

A rarity: a heartstring-puller that's never manipulative, a tearjerker that's never sentimental or maudlin, and a drama that soars whenever…

Review of Inside Deep Throat (2005)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 06 Apr 2005

What makes Inside Deep Throat not so easy to swallow is the way it forces us to take a good hard look at our own voyeuristic reflexes or snap…

Review of Born into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids (2004)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) (50) on 10 Mar 2005

Powerful because it zooms in on the children, letting their words and images guide us…

Review of I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2003)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 10 Feb 2005

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead deftly traces the sad, steady pulse just under the skin of things…

Review of The Woodsman (2004)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 20 Jan 2005

A sharp little movie that plunges into expressive pockets of silence, lets its actors speak with expressions as much as dialogue, and builds…

Review of 2046 (2004)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 13 Jan 2005

This vortex of déjà vu, fantasy and regret is about Chow rewriting his memories so that his romance is an endless elegy for love that could…

Review of Since Otar Left (2003)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 09 Dec 2004

Bertuccelli neatly unpacks these three women's burdened lives and leaves us with a haunting souvenir-the last scene is a shimmering revelation…

Review of Vera Drake (2004)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 20 Nov 2004

Leigh takes the steady pulse of one woman's quietly remarkable life and turns it into one of the most absorbing, memorable films of the year…

Review of She Hate Me (2004)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 08 Oct 2004

A bizarre stinker . . . it's too bad, for the sake of Lee's career, that this mistake of a movie didn't spontaneously combust on the first reel…

Review of Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 29 Jan 2004

The picture itself is gorgeously realized and richly atmospheric, but the subjects within the frame remain still lives…

Review of Big Fish (2003)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 09 Jan 2004

For all its occasionally sputtering puffery, Big Fish's tales are woolly and waggish enough to tickle your fancy for two hours…

Review of Cold Mountain (2003)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 02 Jan 2004

Minghella crafts enough resonant, lyrical images to make the engrossing Cold Mountain a finely polished, emotionally harrowing epic…

Review of 21 Grams (2003)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 02 Jan 2004

A moving, artful matrix of distantly connected decisions, interlaced themes and parallel images . . . smart editing and powerful performances…

Review of Stuck on You (2003)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 11 Dec 2003

Stuck on You is pretty much impossible not to like, with its pleasant charm and plenty of laughs supporting a sentimental message…

Review of Stuck on You! (1983)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 11 Dec 2003

Stuck on You is pretty much impossible not to like, with its pleasant charm and plenty of laughs supporting a sentimental message…

Review of Chaos and Desire (2002)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 04 Dec 2003

A little too slick and self-aware, [the movie] never sinks under the weight of its themes, but this artsy craft of a film does creak and list…

Review of Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 01 Dec 2003

Unlike any romantic comedy this year, with a vision so wondrously off-kilter that you'll be swept off your feet by it, even if you don't fall…

Review of Bloody Sunday (2002)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 01 Dec 2003

This is tragedy in its rawest form: bloody chaos I couldn't help but watch. . . . The tension is palpable and the brutality is immediate…

Review of 24 Hour Party People (2002)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 01 Dec 2003

24 Hour Party People is a frenzied, metafilmic, postmodern splatter of a homage to a music movement…

Review of Marion Bridge (2003)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 01 Dec 2003

Too many scenes are colourless and unimaginative...There's a gap between the pedestrianism of life and the necessary dramatic tension of art…
