It’s enough to restore one’s faith in the near-extinct subgenre once known as the teen comedy.

Levack has done a remarkable job with her feature-film debut, playing with tropes that have time-honoured traditions but are always in need of a refresh.

Imagine if Superbad were directed by a woman who didn’t allow the toxic masculinity and misogyny to go unchecked, while also l giving her genuinely funny and moving characters the room for growth and empathy. I Like Movies does that.

There’s some great acting in this film and the story will resonate with certain groups... I Like Movies has too narrow a focus in terms of it’s story and the cast of characters aren’t diverse or compelling enough to keep me riveted.
