14A. Dir: Bryan Fuller, US, 2025, Horror Thriller. Mads Mikkelsen, Sophie Sloan, Sigourney Weaver. “Experiencing the film Dust Bunny is a little like falling into the greatest children’s book ever. The visually stunning modern fairy tale is all about Aurora, a 10-year-old plagued by a monster under her bed. Late one starry night she sees her mysterious neighbour (Mads Mikkelsen) slay a dragon, so she decides to hire him to dispatch that thing lurking under her floorboards. The monster may well have eaten Aurora’s parents… The mysterious neighbour - he’s an assassin - agrees to help Aurora, although like most adults, he does not believe in monsters under the bed… Dust Bunny is told from Aurora’s perspective, so everything looks fresh and dazzling and beautifully detailed…. The world looms large to children, something writer-director Bryan Fuller obviously never forgot… The assassin, meanwhile, has his own monsters to deal with, and as he explains to Aurora, these monsters are mostly all men…. This is macabre fare - funny, frightening and fantastical... May we all live happily ever after.” – Liz Braun, Alliance of Women Film Journalists. "'Dust Bunny' feel like a family classic in the making. Yes, it’s spooky, but it reminds us that we can always overcome that which frightens us." - MovieWeb

Dir: David Freyne, US, 2025, Romantic Comedy. Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, Callum Turner. “A refreshingly original romantic comedy that makes you laugh, cry, and reflect on the cosmic weight of love and memory…Eternity is one of the most unexpectedly moving films of the year.. Set in a surreal version of the afterlife, the story centers on Joan and Larry, a long-married couple who die within days of each other and reunite in a transitional space between life and whatever comes next. Every soul here is given one week to decide where and with whom they want to spend eternity with, a choice that’s a bit complicated when Joan’s first husband and war hero Luke reappears after decades of waiting for her. At first glance, it feels like a classic rom-com setup with a love triangle, but the twist that the stakes are eternal adds a complex layer. The performances are excellent… The screenplay is a gem, sharp and funny with a delightful streak of sarcasm that keeps the sentimentality in check… This story of eternal love (and eternal decisions) will find a place in your heart.” – Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots

Dir: Susan Rodgers, Canada, 2025, Documentary. Stay afterwards and meet director Susan Rodgers! GRAND RIVER GRAND: Souls and spirits heal when people and horses at a small ranch on Canada’s east coast get involved! Grand River Grand is a sweet and poignant documentary series about a remarkable woman, her staff, and the selfless volunteers who run a joyful equine adapted learning program for adults and children at a horse ranch in scenic Grand River, Prince Edward Island. WILD HEARTS: Every job Candy Gallant has ever had was with animals and over the years she’s learned to care for a number of creatures. Injured raccoon? Skunk? Crow? It’s well known on Prince Edward Island that if you come across an injured animal or abandoned babies, they should be transported to Candy for care. A charitable organization with a board of directors as well as a lively transportation network have been set up to help, since Candy rarely leaves her small home — she’s always busy feeding vulnerable wildlife babies, who occupy every wall of her tiny house. She’s a colourful individual who applied every two years for decades for a permit from the province. Now, after more than fifty years of rehabilitating wildlife, she inspires others to pay attention to the natural world around us.
