Barry Hertz Globe and Mail While director Karen Knox’s new film aspires to join its cinematic predecessors in a kind of greatest-hits album of hard-rocking Canadiana, its final mix feels more like a collection of solid, but not quite chart-topping, singles. Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Annette Basile FILMINK (Australia) … a cleverly made film about relationships and music that has emotional resonance. Rated: 16.5/20 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Brian Bromberger Bay Area Reporter The film falters when it focuses on the romantic entanglements and we're never quite sure how they impinge on the band's success. The film is on firmer ground when it explores selling out as Evan entertains the possibility of going solo. Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Lindsay Clarke Exclaim! A love letter — or rather, love song — to early adulthood, art and Toronto's bustling music scene, We Forgot to Break Up is a poignant yet joyous movie-going experience. Rated: 8/10 Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Alex Valencia Q+ Magazine We Forgot to Break Up is a film that lingers in your mind [...] It’s a beautiful, emotional rollercoaster that will resonate with anyone who's ever chased a dream, faced the messiness of relationships, and struggled to find their place in the world.
