I write about movies and Toronto film culture, among other things. I also host a podcast on movies and popular culture called Mamo! with my friend Matty Price, and maintain the non-regular series The Benedict Chronicles, which does exactly what it says.

On this page is an alphabetical index of all my film reviews and writing. You can jump down the page using the links below. All reviews are by Matt Brown, except the ones by Supergirl.
