Movie Reviews

CinePassion - 10/10 by Fernando F. CroceAll is chronicled by Donald Shebib with a documentarian's eye for granular verity
Reel Film Reviews - 8/10 by David Nusair...Goin' Down the Road is still surprisingly relevant today.
User Review - 10/10 by Elinor IHillarious (for the characters honest cluelessness), Depressing for the same reason, and full of realism. If you've spend any time with working class folks talking about big ideas you have to hand it to these characters for giving thieir pipe dreams a whirl. Not a moment of dull footage. An under appreciated mandatory flick for any movie fan. Just see it, man, I
User Review - 10/10 by Chris CLandmark Canadian film with emotional rollercoaster ride of two Maritimers moving to Toronto to improve their fortunes with predictably disastrous results. Great Bruce Cockburn music and the SCTV parody is a classic.
User Review - 10/10 by Joseph KPretty damn depressing, eh? Regent Park in 1970.
User Review - 10/10 by Caleb LPossibly the best Canadian film ever made, GOIN' DOWN THE ROAD is a gritty and realistic portrait of two men from Nova Scotia trying to make their way in the big city of Toronto. Beautifully acted with the atmosphere of a National Film Board of Canada documentary, it serves as an improvisational time capsule of my hometown in 1970. A one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
User Review - 10/10 by Mark LThe gritty, deeply depressing Canadian masterpiece that every Canadian should watch and then seek therapy. But to those who think it invented the depressing, unresolved Canadian exile film, I'd recommend Don Owen's Nobody Waved Good-bye, about two teenagers in 1963 Toronto. A surpassingly beautiful film shot in a rough yet lyrical Candid-Eye style, whose lonely protagonist also ends up "goin down the road" into the night.
User Review - 10/10 by Trent MOnce watched this 4 times in a row for a school project and it has been haunting me ever since. Perhaps as perfect a film as I have ever seen. A Canadian classic for a reason.
User Review - 8/10 by Richard-Yves STough, gritty, uncompromising, darkly humorous and something of a miracle in that we had essentially no home-grown film industry back then, the NFB and Norman McLaren be damned. Too bad our best candidate for the Canadian Ken Loach wound up directing episodes of "Danger Bay" and "The New Addams Family". Sigh.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UPioneering the Candian Film industry. You gotta respect that. These guys are the real thing.
