The Canadian Film Reviewer is a publication focused on spotlighting Canadian films, promoting discussion, and helping you pick your next movie for movie night.

Hundreds of Canadian films are distributed every year, yet so many of them go under-seen and under-discussed. Through reviews, lists, essays, and editorials, we aim to change that and contribute to a healthier, more visible national film community.

The Canadian Film Reviewer’s approach is to treat each film with the same critical analysis as one would expect from a larger international release.
