I Like Movies
AroView: A Canadian comedy that is close to our heart, but beyond all the in-jokes about movies and video stores, this delivers in a way that all coming-of-age movies are supposed to.
Isaiah Lehtinen is a force of nature as a 17-year-old movie snob who gets a job at a tacky local chain store under the delusion he’ll get into the prestigious NYU film school. He’s monstrous, selfish, naive and charming, and makes for a completely authentic teenager at the centre of a well-rounded feature debut that offers plenty of other pleasures and surprises.
“Where Licorice Pizza was fun, bombastic spectacle of performances, I Like Movies is a more subtle, more human, more cohesive film with a devastating and distinctive point of view.” ~Andy Howell, Film Threat
“Dir. Levack has done a remarkable job with her feature-film debut, playing with tropes that have time-honoured traditions but are always in need of a refresh.” ~Amil Niazi, The Globe and Mail
