Iconic Canadian Filmmaker Michael McGowan in a league of his own with “Score: A Hockey Musical”


Newcomer, Toronto's Reid, with TV's George Stroumboulopoulos

I was delighted CIFF’s Opening Gala was family-oriented, as I was accompanied by the lone child in the audience. Here’s his review:

It was an exciting story! Farley (Noah Reid) loved to play hockey with his friends and his journey is about taking a challenge, doing something different and being true to yourself.

It’s really funny because hockey players like to fight but Farley doesn’t, so all kinds of hilarious things happen — which are funnier with the added songs and dancing — this also makes it more interesting. I’m going to recommend it to my friends.

Every Canadian should see it!
