Guy Lodge is rooting for UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE! 🇨🇦 #matthewrankin #oscars
Went to the #Ottawa premiere of #UniversalLanguage last weekend. An absurd and surreal delight. Funny, nostalgic, charming. Truly original.
The plot line moves slowly, then surprisingly. This should have made the final Oscar noms.
Watch it anyway.

A prime-minister documentary won the midnight crowd — here is how Matthew Rankin did it
