Run This Town (2019)
7/10
Well-paced original story about millennials struggling to get their lives started in Toronto
5 March 2020
Well I really enjoyed it. It was much different than expected. I expected the Rob Ford story. Instead this was an insightful story about the reality of fresh out-of-school millennials trying to get their lives and careers started in Toronto set amidst the backdrop of the Rob Ford controversy. It gave a glimpse of millennial angst in a way that felt very real. It was well-paced with quick, smart dialogue and a good mix of humor and kept my attention throughout. I could see where it could be polished up here and there. There were a few scenes and characters that could have benefited from a bit more introduction/development, but overall it worked really well. I give a lot of credit to indie films that risk taking an original approach and I am interested to see what this new director does next.
