Afterlife of the Party: An Exploration of Female Friendship
Netflix's Afterlife of the Party might fall into the rom-com genre, but it's much more about grief, strong female friendships, and platonic love than it is about romance.

‘Midnight at the Paradise’ is a Love Letter to Film, Music, and the City of Toronto
Premiering at none other than the Paradise Theatre on Friday, April 21st is Midnight at the Paradise, Vanessa Matsui’s directorial feature debut. The film follows three different couples at different stages of their lives together. They are all brought together by Iris (Liane Balaban) and her plan to save the landmark Paradise Theatre and honour her ailing father with a screening of their favourite film, Jean-Luc Godard’s classic, Breathless. We get the sense that Iris’s fixation on this particular film may be a distraction from the dissatisfaction she feels in her everyday life, but soon this event will be the catalyst for a shake-up in her routine.
