It instantly offers a breath of fresh air about what it means to pursue one’s passion for writing about the arts while being a woman

Few filmmakers can make mouth herpes as comedic or endearing as [Chandler Levack] has.

Mile End Kicks wants to mirror the haphazard freedom of a young woman out on her own... To that end, the writer-director, Chandler Levack, establishes an agreeably slapdash attitude of hedonistic adventure.

Mile End Kicks feels necessarily slight and indebted to an early 2010s optimism that feels all-too-familiar as a twee relic of a largely bygone era.

7/10

This is a fun film to consider, as it revolves around a lead character who makes some pretty terrible choices, and yet you continually root for her to either change things around or make them right.

While Mile End Kicks is a well-done film on all aspects, something feels missing and it’s not quite connecting.

Vibes of this movie reminds me of an early 2010s type movie. Follows a girl trying to figure out life. By the end of the movie, I was not a fan of the main character, but was glad to see she finally made some good choices in the end

Truthfully the plot and message of the movie is lost. Theres no real character development of Grace. Her character was very contradictory throughout the whole movie. Its not a good film. I didnt feel any sort of nostalgia from 2011 despite the many efforts. Very dissatisfied since I was very much looking forward to its release.
