TIFF ‘22 Coverage: ‘My Policeman’
'My Policeman' simultaneously delighted and disappointed audiences at TIFF, but everyone can agree that the performances and truth of the story will convince audiences that this film is worth the watch.

Based on the group Sepah, "Sepah The Movie" stars its three members as three single men who work in an electronic factory near their village who are also obsessed with motor cross racing. As if the friends have not enough in common, all of them fall for a girl named Ayu Sofea, who works in the quality control department in the electronic factory where the trio also work. This leads to a series of bungling schemes and misunderstandings perpetrated by the three men in order to win Ayu Sofea's heart. To make things worse, a rival appears in the form of their new manager, called Based, who has an international degree, wealth and an equal love for motor cross.

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
Canvas illustrates the story of a grandfather who, after suffering the loss of his beloved, struggles to reclaim his love for painting.
Fjord, like its story, is not a conclusion, but a beginning.
If you identify as part of the queer community, or if you love old school slasher flicks, you will love this movie.
