Film Review: “Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind” Shines Light on the Unsung Hero of Canadian Music

Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind (Martha Kehoe/Joan Tosoni, 2019) 3½ out of 4 stars.

The Pool (Ping Lumpraploeng, 2018) 3 out 4 stars. Jumping right into the season of “summer blockbuster” is The Pool, the story of Day, a film-crew member and his girlfriend, struggling to get by. After a big pool scene on set, Day accidentally finds himself and his girlfriend stranded at the bottom of an empty […]
