Kate Taylor Globe and Mail 06/19/2009
3/4
It is intensely well observed, but somewhat lacking in drama. It is lightly nostalgic about its moment in history. It's probably autobiographical. And it doesn't have much of an ending. Go to Full Review

A tiny perfect gem about the no-man's-land of adolescence. Go to Full Review

04/26/2012 A decent drama set in Toronto 1988!!! See more 08/01/2011 One of the best canadian films i have seen. A very real life, normal depiction of teens in a movie. See more 01/01/2010 This film was wonderfully delightful. The hockey references were so amusing. I feel it ended too abruptly. See more 09/28/2009 I saw this at the Calgary Film Festival. A very nice little Canadian movie. It really captures life in Southern Ontario suburbs in the 1980's. Lots of pressure on Ben as he juggles parents, girls, hockey playoffs and his future. You can sure pack a lot into a long weekend when you're in High School, eh? Not very satisfied with ending but the parallel with the 1988 NHL playoffs is a "Great One". See more 07/13/2009 A nuanced perspective of growing up as a 2nd gen Russian immigrant in North York in the 80s. There isn't really an ending to speak of but the scenes, characters, and humour are really well done. See more 07/04/2009 One of those movies where I end up a little envious of the main character -- a liar with lots of integrity. See more Read all reviews
