Film Reviews
I worked at 7-24 Videos & More, in Parkdale. I loved recommending, discussing, and debating films with customers. Then I discovered the amazing DVD collection at the Toronto Public Library.
In addition to DVDs, you can also stream films using Kanopy and Hoopla. Remember when you’d hold up a DVD case and ask, “How’s this?” In the spirit of an opinionated video store clerk, here are our answers.

Film Reviews: March 1st, 2026
THE HANDMAIDEN
A beautiful Korean film based on the novel Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. Murder, suicide, corruption and sex all add up to a compelling and disturbing watch.
BUSHMAN
An original piece of cinema investigating a Nigerian graduate student’s experience in 1968 San Francisco. Non-actors tell the story made by a white British man who had a grant and wanted to record an honest depiction of an American experience.
THE SEDUCTION OF JOE TYNAN
A 1979 political drama depicting the dysfunction of politics. Becoming President is all about power. It also wreaks havoc on your family life. Alan Alda, Barbara Harris and Meryl Streep are all strong in this compelling drama.
WILD REEDS
A sexy French coming-of-age film from 1994, during France's Algerian War. A layered story that touches on sexuality, gender and the urban-rural divide. It received numerous awards upon its release and rightly so.
