Barry Hertz Globe and Mail If you don’t already know who Rosalie Abella is, then it is high time you learned – and the best entry point is Without Precedent, a new documentary that explores one extremely remarkable, perhaps underappreciated life. Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Jim Slotek Original Cin Avrich, whose films lean more toward personalities than events, is in his wheelhouse here. The spirited, progressive, eccentric former Canadian Supreme Court Justice stood out in that august body like a splash of colourful paint on a grey wall.
