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.

After a big pool scene on set, Day accidentally finds himself and his girlfriend stranded at the bottom of an empty […]
