Review of By the Sea (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 12 Nov 2015

There is just so much lived-in luxury and poorly borrowed Euro art-film grandeur and repressed nothing that you half expect some French narrator…

Review of Spotlight (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 12 Nov 2015

Review of Burnt (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 29 Oct 2015

Review of Hyena Road (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 08 Oct 2015

Gross' combat scenes are the appropriate kind of chaotic, explosive rushes that tend to feature the soldiers trying to figure what's going…

Review of People Hold On (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 08 Oct 2015

Unfortunately, all of this has to work against writing that is chokingly self-conscious, starting with the well-worn set-up and extending to…

Review of The Visit (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 10 Sep 2015

Review of Wolf Totem (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 10 Sep 2015

Review of A Walk in the Woods (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 01 Sep 2015

Review of Backcountry (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 26 Aug 2015

Review of Turbo Kid (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 26 Aug 2015

Review of No Escape (2015)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 25 Aug 2015

Review of Teen Lust (2014)

By David Berry (137) for National Post (1,405) on 12 Aug 2015
