Jane Finch Again!

About This Movie

So, 'Jane Finch Again!' is kind of a deep dive into a neighborhood that feels like a character in itself. It’s this documentary that revisits the people from Jennifer Hodge's earlier work, 'Home Feeling,' which I find really adds layers to the narrative. The pacing has this reflective quality, allowing you to sit with the stories of residents and their struggles against racism and police brutality. The film feels raw, real, and a bit gritty, encapsulating the atmosphere of urban life in that part of Toronto. There's a genuine sincerity in the performances, and the practical effects are minimal but effective—they really let the subjects speak for themselves. It’s distinctive in its approach to social issues, making you think and feel without any fluff.
