  Review by B E R T ★★★★

  To be perfectly honest I wasn’t expecting much from this movie but I was pleasantly surprised at just how good it actually was. Excellent acting from the actresses leading the film, and the story has a lot of depth to it. It is perhaps a little underwritten and not as dramatic as it could’ve been but at the same time the fact that it’s small scale is what’s good about it. There’s a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming at all.

  Review by 🍞 Runaway Baker 🍞 ★★★ 9

  The Rest of Us is your typical low-key indie drama flick that is often just enough to keep its audience semi-engaged, but is rarely elevated to anything that will remain memorable shortly after viewing.

  Now as much as I like a good drama, the situation at home is that I'd like for my wife and I to be able to watch a reasonably light movie around our three year old - preferably something that isn't an outright kid's movie.
  This was a good example; zero violence, no steamy sex scenes, nothing offensive and minimal cursing.
  But finding movies that fit into that category often takes me ages to find. And on top of that, there's added pressure to make sure…

  A film about women trying to live in the present while they deal the best they can with the shit they've done in the past. All while they navigate their lives and relationships with each other. Beautifully shot, beautiful performances, and surprisingly funny jokes that land really really well. I really liked this, and can't wait to see more from this director.

  Review by Erin Elizabeth ★★★★

  A sweet, comforting little indie about the creation of family and the strength of empathy. Both director Aisling Chin-Yee and screenwriter Alanna Francis make their debut here, in an ensemble piece that doesn't overly exaggerate despite its narrative's opening for melodrama. Instead, four people slowly bond with one another within a variety of awkwardly charming situations.

  Heather Graham, Sophie Nélisse, Jodi Balfour, and Abigail Pniowsky share beautiful chemistry as the accidental family at the heart of this film; each balances Francis' honest, witty script, providing performances that don't manipulate reactions. This is a film that simply unfolds, moments lingering. There are definite feels, but they occur without showiness. Each event plays like real life; it's easy to believe the choices…

  There’s no better feeling than discovering and watching a relatively unknown movie you had no expectations for and loving it.
