      Mark Hanson Slant Magazine The characters’ struggles are filtered through Antoine Bourges’s signature aesthetic of exactingly sparse visual compositions that imbue a subtle poeticism into the day-to-day reality of people simply trying to make ends meet. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail The result is rather thrilling, with Bourges, his co-writer Teyama Alkamli and his cast building a different kind of cinematic storytelling right before our eyes. Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Shelagh Rowan-Legg ScreenAnarchy Concrete Valley asks it audience to take time with the characters, the space they occupy, and their thoughts and emotions that are freely floating in this in-between existence, between who they were, and who they will be allowed to become. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Chris Knight Original Cin Straddling the line between drama and documentary, it's a story of people in search of a spiritual refuge, a loving, lovely portrait of a corner of the city that, unless you live there, is probably a blank spot on your map or a region you drive through. Rated: B-plus Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
