Smart low budget comedy that lags a bit in the middle (despite its short length of 80 minutes) about a hired killer Reuben (Randy Quaid) and the gambler debtor Andy (Jay Baruchel) he is hired to kill. 

Some documentaries earn a high rating from its subject matter alone.  A film that shocks and changes the world definitely deserves credit for attempting that noble feat.  For the well-intentioned documentary TRAIGE, the film has an added bonus – in that it is intelligently made and thought out in concept as well.

THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS is the little Jewish boy (Jack Scanlon) in the concentration camp wearing his prisoner uniform.  The story centers on the friendship between him and Bruno (Asa Butterfield from SON OF RAMBOW), the son of the Camp Commander (David Thewlis).

Philippe Claude’s debut feature, IL Y A LONGTEMPS QUE JE T’AIME (I’ve Loved You For So Long) is arguably one of the most sensitive films screened so far this year.  Pensive, moving and occasionally insightful, Claudel’s film deals with the topic of imprisonment.

At one point in the film when the lost safari tourists ask the Granny From Hell where she is going, she replies: “It doesn’t matter!  I am a hop and skip away from having a good time!”
