There's a dirtbag singer in the movie who is obsessive and weird to girls he dates, can't get it up, keeps trying anyway, and also signs his texts "ya gurl". Regretfully this hit a little too close to home. Thank god now I'm the girl men are obsessive and weird to.

neutral · AI labelView post →I adored Chandler Levack’s MILE END KICKS, a movie that refreshingly gets (and oh my, doesn’t detest) arts journalism/criticism. (Women journo, see it!!!)

positive · AI labelView post →I’m gonna need every woman writer who wrote about music once to calm down about Mile End Kicks and stop quoting the Euphoria “is this play about us” line. The nostalgic fangirling is lame especially for a movie where she fucks her sources
negative · AI labelView post →people of Canada! MILE END KICKS opens in select cinemas tomorrow. Support your national culture AND see a great movie at the same time!
neutral · AI labelView post →Chandler’s a uniquely unpretentious filmmaker, and Mile End Kicks is basically the definition of a movie that doesn’t get made anymore (and usually ends up a TV series), where small stakes, emotional realism, and crowd-pleasing style merge into a thoroughly satisfying 115 minutes

neutral · AI labelView post →One scene in the 2025 film “Mile End Kicks” (set in 2011, I think) shows the main characters giving some Montreal Haredi uneasy side-eye. There’s no follow-up; it’s as if the filmmaker is confirming her ongoing view of that visible minority in that ‘hood as other and weird. Careless editing, maybe.
negative · AI labelView post →After watching Mile End Kicks, I followed it up with that director’s debut film, I Like Movies, and enjoyed it even more than Kicks. The video store setting is fun, and I was pretty drawn into what the main character was experiencing. Great film. boxd.it/etnqcV #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →I saw Mile End Kicks tonight. A movie strictly set in 2011, horny for Montréal, and uhhh I think owes me money for emotional damage ok. Suddenly I want to go to Montréal this summer and wear tiny shorts. 😭

positive · AI labelView post →Last night I saw MILE END KICKS, which is set in 2011, and my knee-jerk response was, it's a really sweet and likeable movie and I'd love to see a version of it with music that doesn't give me hives
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally saw Mile End Kicks today. The movie shows the origin story of the toxic Plateau man and the entitlement of white women from English Canada who move to Montreal to use the city, its people & its character as their personal fun playground, ruining iconic neighbourhoods in the process.
