A perfect summer day ends in tragedy, weaving a cosmic connection between three suburban teenagers. Best friends Colton and Kyle float the river, trade dreams, and spray-paint in the local ravine. Like the boys, Whitney explores the ravine, seeking solace by writing and drawing in her diary. But when her best friend abandons her, Whitney disappears. The kids' lives swirl with natural wonder and beauty, but darkness and death loom not far behind. The discovery of Whitney's diary transports us to a mirror world. A magical ravine. A paranormal encounter. The return of a dead black cat. Is this a dream? The afterlife? Once deeply connected, are we ever really alone?

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail An intensely atmospheric meditation on friendship, grief and the pains and wonders of being an adolescent outsider, The Maiden is a haunting work that announces the arrival of a startling new talent. May 5, 2023 Full Review Greg Nussen Slant Magazine The Maiden is concerned with more intimate, smaller moments in time within the larger continuum of people’s lives. Rated: 3/4 Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety If not everything works, “The Maiden” still has style and sensitivity to spare, and it’s rare to come across a first film that is so invested in reimagining such well-trafficked territory from the inside out. Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row Told largely through dreamy images evoking memory, The Maiden is a rare coming-of-age tale about sensitive teenage boys coping with their emotions as much as they try to hide them. Hugely evocative of a very specific place, the suburbs of Calgary... Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Rachel Ho Exclaim! A dream-like rumination on youth, loss and friendship that is familiar and singular at the same time. Rated: 7/10 May 18, 2023 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Nothing about The Maiden is easy outside of its free-flowing appearance, but that’s also what makes it a lingering presence. Rated: 7/10 May 10, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
