Mile End Kicks
Directed by Chandler Levack
- Burnharm3d agoliked Mile End Kicks for the way it transports you back to a simpler time, when technology still felt manageable and people seemed to have more control over it. That feeling is probably the strongest part of the film: it has a nostalgic charm and a sense of place that feels very appealing. Unfortunately, the story itself is not very strong. As the film goes on, it begins to lose focus and the narrative becomes less engaging. Some elements, especially the nudity, feel unnecessary rather than meaningful. In the end, it has a nice mood and an interesting period feeling, but the weak storytelling stops it from becoming truly memorable.
- cultfilmlikerApril 18, 2026Barbie Ferreira week ruled Enjoyed I Like Movies. This one not AS much but still good and cute! Barbie Ferreira is getting too hot tbh not okay So lovely seeing Juliette Gariépy. Go watch Red Rooms if you haven’t! Loved the Mac Demarco name drop! Neutral Milk Hotel. Jagged Little Pill, Sonic Youth - Goo back-to-back-to-back references had me fucked up. My mom nudged me and said, “Jagged Little Dyl!” (my Snapchat @ ) when Jagged Little Pill was mentioned. It was cute. Ultimately however she was not a big fan of the film lol Catholics are such prudes Rock musicians having delusions of grandeur is always a recipe for comedic success (not even joking) Needed more Alanis Morissette material Watched at Warren Regal 21 with my mother Currently Ranked #21/51 in 2026 Ranked
- Emily DownerApril 12, 2026Spoke directly to my indie emo rock girly who read boy band fan fiction at night and attended concerts like a sport. Peak 2011 Tumblr era — Tom’s bangs, obnoxious necklaces, big black glasses. I felt like I was watching my past self on screen. Barbie Ferreira plays Grace with such truth and earned growth. The concert scenes felt visceral and alive, and the Alanis Morissette soundtrack was perfect. It tackles female oppression in male-dominated spaces — specifically music journalism — in a way that still feels relevant today. The band love triangle took the cake, I fell for Archie instantly, and I hated Chevy in exactly the right way. This is a story about a girl finding her way in a world that keeps trying to shut her out — and Chandler Levack nailed it. Four stars. Already one of my favourite films of the year.
