Tom Thomson Art Gallery Movies

Constructed like a detective mystery on a grand scale, the film from François Girard (The Red Violin) opens the night of the much-anticipated first public performance by Dovidl Rapoport, a Polish musical prodigy. When he doesn’t show up, his best friend Martin is left to tell the packed theatre that the performance will not go on. Decades later, an adult Martin (Tim Roth), serving as a judge in a musical competition, watches a young student prepare to play in Dovidl’s unique style. This moment sends Martin, on a transcontinental search for his boyhood friend who disappeared so suddenly. This emotional tale of family, obligation, ambition, and friendship, focuses on the tragic circumstances of the migrant — whose departure is often (if not usually) motivated by forces far beyond their control. 113 minutes PG

This film brings two master actors together for the first time as their characters navigate one of the most high-stakes gambits imaginable: marriage. Joan (Lesley Manville) and Tom (Liam Neeson) have their set habits, cozy bickering, and assumption of a long walk together into the sunset. But when Joan discovers a lump in her breast, it soon becomes clear that cancer will radically change each of them and their relationship. As she enters the cold, uncertain process of medical treatment, their habits are ruptured, and that cozy bickering explodes to reveal the long-buried truths of their marriage. Working from Owen McCafferty’s wise, observant screenplay, directors Lisa Barros D’Sa and Glenn Leyburn show the heartbreak that comes with what Joan and Tom must go through, and they do so with clarity and tenderness.  91 minutes  Not yet rated.

Traversing through family holidays, birthdays, ski trips, and, of course, bike rides, The Climb takes what could be a knucklehead display of toxic masculinity and — through an intelligent, surprising, and self-aware use of slapstick and whip-smart dialogue — steers it through the lives of two people who can’t seem to tear themselves apart from each other. With each comedic escalation, The Climb makes us not only cackle at the absurdity of its scenarios, but also ponder complex questions about the nature of male friendships. 96 minutes  Not yet rated.
