It instantly offers a breath of fresh air about what it means to pursue one’s passion for writing about the arts while being a woman Go to Full Review

Few filmmakers can make mouth herpes as comedic or endearing as [Chandler Levack] has. Go to Full Review
Owen Gleiberman Variety 4d
Mile End Kicks wants to mirror the haphazard freedom of a young woman out on her own... To that end, the writer-director, Chandler Levack, establishes an agreeably slapdash attitude of hedonistic adventure. Go to Full Review
Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment 20h
7/10
This is a fun film to consider, as it revolves around a lead character who makes some pretty terrible choices, and yet you continually root for her to either change things around or make them right. Go to Full Review
Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 1d
While Mile End Kicks is a well-done film on all aspects, something feels missing and it’s not quite connecting. Go to Full Review
Andrew Parker The Gate 1d
8/10
It’s a film that could serve as a nice guidebook for people living in their teens and early twenties, but also holds space for the older crowd that has had their heart broken [and] dreams put on pause. Go to Full Review

Jamie 13h Truthfully the plot and message of the movie is lost. Theres no real character development of Grace. Her character was very contradictory throughout the whole movie. Its not a good film. I didnt feel any sort of nostalgia from 2011 despite the many efforts. Very dissatisfied since I was very much looking forward to its release. See more Alex 1d Honestly it wasn’t really worth watching See more Derek Allen 1d It feels like a 2000s indie film and i miss those See more Mark B @Markbudzie 9h Very enjoyable romcom and a lovely reminder of how hard life was in my 20s 😝 Well acted and captured the feel of a Montreal summer Worth seeing 👍 See more Hadassa W @RT76368496 13h Wonderful, insightful, original coming-of-age (rather than "rom-com") film. Strong performance by lead actor, Barbie Ferreira (as expected). Love the music and Canadian vibe as well. See more Yash B @yashbansal 16h I have always felt that coming-of-age stories about people in their early twenties are underexplored, so I was glad to see a movie like "Mile End Kicks." This movie shows the story of a pivotal summer in a young woman's life, and I really enjoyed it. I felt the movie rides heavily on the lead performance of Barbie Ferreira, who proves once again that she has serious acting chops. I think the movie, at a point, started to become a bit repetitive, and it runs a little longer than needed, but it builds up to a satisfying finale. I like how the movie showcases creativity in the music space, and it'll probably resonate more with people who are passionate about music. Overall, it is a nice little movie with some laughs and heart, and will scratch that coming-of-age itch, but for an older audience. See more Read all reviews
