GIVEAWAY: Ivan Sen's Limbo (Canada only)
|
Hello Reader, We're giving away FREE digital copies (Canada only) of one of the best films of 2024 so far: Ivan Sen's Indigenous Australian noir, Limbo. Vortex Media has just released Limbo in Canada today. It's also available on VOD in Australia/US. Director Ivan Sen’s (Mystery Road, Goldstone) latest foray into the detective genre, Limbo, places a white cop, Travis (Simon Baker), at the centre of an investigation to re-open a twenty-year-old case about the disappearance of an Indigenous teenager named Charlotte. The film is less about the case or the detective tasked with potentially reopening it and more about the people for whom it never became a cold one. So many years on, the case lives in the silences between the words, in evidence that points to truths but can’t prove them. It's a slow-burn film with incredible performances, gorgeous cinematography, great sound design, and that ever-elusive thing: AMAZING blocking.

Sometimes, committing to one curated film a month can lead to unexpected shifts in how you see films — and yourself. That’s exactly what Hazel, a longtime member of Reel Ruminators, has experienced. In this week’s podcast episode, she reflects on what she’s taken away from a year of participating — and how that simple, consistent practice has shaped the way she approaches films. We talked about: What happens when you watch films that aren't suggested by an algorithm. Why gathering with film...
Early in this month’s Reel Ruminators film, the heroine declares: “I don’t want to meet interesting people, I want to be interesting.” That line gives you a sense of the film's tone: witty and searching, with something deeper always lurking beneath the surface. Join us this month for an effervescent trip to France for a film that’s bright, funny, emotionally rich, and full of restless energy. The film, which premiered at Cannes in Critics’ Week, is the first feature from a woman to watch,...
Some films change every time you rewatch them — not because they shift, but because you do. The mark of a great film is that it can meet you again — and offer more. Not just because your perspective has changed, but because the film is rich enough to hold what you couldn’t yet see. This year marks the tenth anniversary of Andrew Haigh’s 45 Years — and we’re celebrating it on the podcast because it’s one of the best films of the century. I’ve watched it at least once a year over the past...
