Latest Reviews of Crossing
Published on: April 23, 2007This past weekend Roger Evan Larry's Crossing opened in Vancouver and Toronto. Below are some excerpts from reviews of the film:
"Impressive."�- Alexandra Breen, Flare"With her pouty lips and voluptuous curves paired with a chummy girl-next-door demeanour Crystal Bublé certainly does have a captivating presence that lights up the screen. The scene in which she fondles a strap-on dildo through baggy men's briefs may yet prove to be one of the most weirdly erotic acts of foreplay in Canadian cinema."�
- Alex Gill, The Globe and Mail
"Writer Douglas Coupland and director Paul Fox's film, Everything's Gone Gr ee n and Roger Evan Larry and Sandra Tomc's thriller, Crossing , (both opening on Friday) share the same turf, but they're on opposite sides of the city -- and in this case, East Vancouver ( Crossing ) meets, and beats the crap out of, West Vancouver ( Everything's Gone Green)...( Crossing ) makes good use of typical gangster motifs but in its quieter introspective moments, there is something more interesting...the sex is surprisingly erotic, and Sebastian Spence brings a silky reptilian charm to the role of Daniel."�- Dorothy Woodend, The Tyee
"CROSSING ... surprises and delights in strange and unexpected ways. Expertly and evocatively shot, wonderfully cast and vastly entertaining ". You cannot take your eyes off Sebastian Spence, absolutely riveting in a subtle and sympathetic performance. Backing him up, an outstanding ensemble of the Vancouver underworld's most eccentric (yet somehow also endearing) low-lifes, from Crystal Buble's aching hooker-with-a-heart to Alan C. Peterson's pervert procurer, Bernie Coulson's aspiring comedian thug to rocker Bif Naked's lesbo leg-breaker.�- Rob Salem, The Toronto Star
"Crossing is a complex but never confusing thriller with a twist. Solid performances, strong atmospherics, and a perverse streak that never panders make this fetish-fueled drama a striking entry in the neo-noir canon."�
- Gary Morris, Bright Lights Film Journal
"Crossing gets a nice rhythm going"¦ Everyone in the breezy tale is trying to get out of, or into, some kind of trouble "There's also a big dose of family psychology to spice up the fun."�
- Ken Eisner , The Georgia Straight
