Shelagh Rowan-Legg ScreenAnarchy Foil is rough around its edges, but it has a good heart and a healthy dose of good-natured self-reflection, with a clever spin on alien conspiracy theories, and how friendships can get lost and found again in those awkward post-high school years. Rated: 3/5 May 8, 2024 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Aims for Clerks with aliens and ends up closer to Yoga Hosers, dragging out its comedy-sketch premise for more than 100 minutes.

Alethea R Foil is lighthearted and fun film that brought a smile to my face. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Nelson T A low-fi sci-fi banger! Foil has a great camcorder aesthetic and with just 4 actors total makes for a really memorable comedic experience with a few well-earned laughs and a great kooky premise that will be appealing to anyone who has ever had fun thinking about aliens and over-the-top conspiracy theories. Love the location too. Really fun and highly recommended Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Selina R I loved how Foil perfectly blends humor with an offbeat, intriguing adventure. Quirky, suspenseful, and hilarious! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Ed B A silly film but quite entertaining. A bit slow getting going and creating the characters but worth watching. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
