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: October 1st, 2025
COMPANION
An interesting satire/horror of our relationships with technology. When it becomes our significant other, the results are terrifying. You have been warned. Great performances.
DROP
We were willing to jump on board with this ridiculously fun thriller due to the immensely watchable Meghann Fahy, but the last quarter sapped all the fun out it. Upsetting.
FRIENDSHIP
Black comedy at its most cringeworthy. A sendup of the man-baby at his worst. How did this get made? Paul Rudd is an independent filmmaking hero.
THE ASSESSMENT
To have children in the future, parents’ worthiness is assessed by the state. The process is horrific. Why does anyone want children? We have seen the future: it is stylish and cruel. All performances are good, but Alicia Vikander and Minnie Driver shine.
