End Credits #349 - July 10, 2024 (Fancy Dance)

This week on End Credits, we dance! Fancy Dance. You may not have heard of this movie, but it's there waiting for you on AppleTV+ and it might just be one of the best movies you will see this year. And, along similar topics, we will dedicate the first part of the show to some of the best movies that we've seen so far in this very fleeting year of 2024 now more than halfway over. This Wednesday, July 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: The Best of the Year (So Far...). There's been a lot of anxious talk abut what kind of movie year this has been with the bad box office and the slim pickin's coming out of the strikes last year, but what if it hasn't been a bad movie year? As usual, you can find some diamonds in the rough if you want to go looking for them, and this week we will go looking for them. What are some of the best movies released so far in 2024? We will give you six of them. REVIEW: Fancy Dance (2024). Lily Gladstone got an Oscar-nomination for her fantastic work in Killers of the Flower Moon, but during the campaign, it was this movie that she really wanted to talk about. Fancy Dance, which is from documentarian Erica Tremblay, follows a woman from the Seneca-Cayuga First Nation as she desperately tries to protect her teenage niece from social workers and the horrible knowledge that her missing mother is probably dead. Sounds dire, but is it possible that Fancy Dance is one of the most heart warming movies of the year? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
