4/5
Fully committed to a radical irresolution, this simultaneously alienating and beautiful film bears repeat viewing. Go to Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Nov 5
For moviegoers starving for something new who, like Audrey, have nearly given up the ghost, Measures for a Funeral is a symphony, full and rich. Go to Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Dec 5
9/10
It sounds dry, and at points it can be, but Bohdanowicz has crafted a work about the art of research that’s finds warmth in all things academic. Go to Full Review Chris Knight Original Cin Nov 7
A-
Part ghost story, part history lesson, Bohdanowicz's film takes the bones of mid-century violin virtuoso Kathleen Parlow and wraps them in the modern story of a music researcher trying to track down a lost concerto. The result is triumphant and elegiac.
