Everything changes over a single summer for the kids in Sleeping Giant, a superb coming-of-age story set in Northern Ontario.

Not just the best Canadian movie of 2015, but one of the year's best films, period.

Cividino creates a volatile, captivating and singular look at adolescence, wholly free of the sanitized antics of Hollywood.

fresh:
Boys will be boys, yes, but Cividino doesn't romanticize them: They can be pretty toxic, too.

What's particularly admirable here is the way the cast and filmmakers illuminate not just the wit and charm of young men, but also the callow cruelty of youth.
