“It is well paced with never a dull moment and the cinematography is not only gorgeous, but helps build a very compelling and tense narrative.” (Flickering Myth)

“Ultimately, Hines debut transforms a forgotten chapter of Canadian history into a very human drama. Little Lorraine proves that reality can be stranger and more gripping than fiction, making it one to watch” (Alliance of Women Film Journalists)

“a thrilling crime drama that is elevated by McHattie’s sensational turn.” (That Shelf)

4/4 Stars! “hypnotic, mesmeric filmmaking” (RogerEbert.com)

4/4 Stars! “a sublime experience, composed of incredibly beautiful imagery and thought-provoking ideas…a mesmeric work of cinematic poetry and easily among the best and most original films in recent memory.” (Deep Focus Review)

10/10! “The performances are breath-taking…Silent Friend is a testament to film-making’s art, transcending language and cultural boundaries. A film that touches hearts and minds.” (Morning Star UK)

Advance tickets now available for Class Of 1984!

*We’ll have a special virtual Q&A at the June 7 at 9:15pm screening of Class Of 1984, hosted by Saturday Night Sinema’s Daimion Fumerton, featuring Lisa Langlois (Patsy in Class Of 1984)!

From the firecracker director of Commando and Firestarter, Class Of 1984 is one of the classic punk era’s most incendiary treatises against the scourge of youth. When a rabid pack of rampaging delinquents overruns an all-American high school, brutality and decadence are everywhere. Enter the novice teacher, who’s forced to violently turn the tables before the bloodthirsty gang’s trash wave swallows the town alive.
A perfect exploitation film, it’s relentlessly seedy, overflowing with violence, drug use, and crime!

Academy of Science-Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, USA: Best International Film, Supporting Actor (Roddy McDowall) nominee!

“highly enjoyable, very rewatchable” (Flickering Myth)

“A classic in my book, a much recommended watch and one to watch again.” (Horror News)
