“Mile End Kicks is the second feature from Chandler Levack, and it’s a coming-of-a-slightly-older-age story following her excellent high school cringe comedy I Like Movies. Barbie Ferreira plays Grace… a 23-year-old who moves to Montreal in pursuit of cheap rent and cool loft parties while she spends the summer writing a book. It’s a joy to witness the 2011-isms… It’s similarly delightful to watch the sheer early-20s-ness of these characters, who blindly pursue their dreams with little sense of future consequence, armed with the confidence that they still have years left to get it together… Grace grows without fully cleaning up her messy life, and Mile End Kicks pays off in ways that are satisfying without being too tidy. There’s a lot to connect with in this account of the awkwardness at the core of youthful abandon, which will be relatable even to those who didn’t also happen to be aspiring music critics in the early 2010s.” —Alex Hudson, Exclaim!
