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: September 2026
BUGONIA
The acting chops of Emma Stone & Jesse Plemons continue to impress. Bugonia is so bonkers you can’t look away. We think that’s a good thing.
SPLITSVILLE
Started with promise, then became shit. If you are going to do a film about open relationships, hire queer script supervisors. Love you Dakota Johnson, but please start showing some acting range.
TEOREMA
Everyone in a wealthy Milanese family becomes obsessed with sexy Terence Stamp. He illuminates their empty and entitled lives. The bourgeoisie are not okay.
MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE
Daniel Day Lewis charms in this 1985 film debut by Stephen Frears. Set during the Thatcher era, the racist tension between the Pakistani and English communities feels spot on. Unfortunately, the rest doesn’t entirely cohere.
LURKER
An excellent film about modern fame. Someone described it as “The Talented Mr. Ripley with a hint of Single White Female and a dash of All About Eve.” Sounds about right.
