Kate Taylor Globe and Mail The real-time effect... is compelling as its languor and its repetitions gradually reveal the deep cultural misunderstanding that is going on. Rated: 3/4 Sep 7, 2019 Full Review Janet Smith Georgia Straight A slow, blackly comic, and intensely important study in all that got lost in translation. Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk returns its hero to his land and reasserts the values that Noah articulated so eloquently and patiently, but fell on deaf ears. Oct 22, 2019 Full Review Kelly Boutsalis NOW Toronto The film flips the colonial narrative on its head by showing the exchange - full of mistranslations, jokes in Inuktitut that go untranslated and misunderstandings - through an Inuit lens. Rated: 4/5 Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

steve j Too smart for the masses. Lot of nuance in the dialog and the mannerisms. A great snapshot of the way of the colonizer. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
