Review of Happy Feet Two (2011)

By Jennie Punter (195) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 18 Nov 2011

By Jennie Punter (195) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Nov 2011

Review of Revenge of the Electric Car (2011)

By Jennie Punter (195) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 18 Oct 2011

By Jennie Punter (195) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 18 Sep 2011

Review of I Don't Know How She Does It (2011)

By Jennie Punter (195) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 15 Sep 2011
