Frozen (14A), 3.5 stars (out of 4)
There’s a chill that slides up your spine as you realize you’re stranded on a ski lift, high above a vacated mountain. This is the terror scenario for Adam Green’s masterfully minimalist horror.

Dear John (PG), 1.5 stars (out of 4)
Dear John is a flick directed squarely at adolescent girls – a sappy version of the old letters-from-the-trenches weepers of the 1940s that hobbles along despite the best effort of its cast and a director who ought to know better.

Saint John of Las Vegas (14A), 2 stars (out of 4)
First-time director Hue Rhodes, who shifted from a career in IT to go to film school, invests too much screen time pursuing the quirky rather than nailing down a story.

From Paris With Love (14A), 2 stars (out of 4)
Woe to the hapless moviegoer who strolls into From Paris With Love expecting a Gallic tribute to the wonders of love along the lines of Paris, je t’aime.

I Killed My Mother (14A), 3.5 stars (out of 4)
What makes this film extraordinary is its depth of feeling, which director Xavier Dolan’s age makes all the more impressive: he was just 19 when he made this.

Invisible City, 3 stars (out of 4)
Toronto filmmaker Hubert Davis spent three years following the lives of two teens living in Regent Park. As the neighbourhood itself begins the “revitalization” project that will leave it utterly transformed, these thoughtful yet troubled youngsters struggle to decide what kind of men they want to be.
