Tara Thorne | Canada | 2022 | 82m
with Lesley Smith, Kathleen Dorian, Kat McCormack, Koumbie, Hilary Adams, James MacLean

We are excited to be screening Tara Thorne's first feature, Compulsus on the last weekend of Pride! Both Tara Thorne and some of the cast will be attending to take part in a Q&A after the screenings!

Driven by rage, empathy, and something she can’t yet name, Wally (Lesley Smith) secretly patrols the streets at night, taking physical revenge on abusive hipster men on behalf of the survivors who can’t. When law-abiding Lou (Kathleen Dorian) enters her world, love and revenge clash, threatening to infiltrate their relationship.

"'Compulsus' is one of the best, true, indie films I’ve seen in some time. It aims to critique male violence towards women, and, bullseye, it hit its mark." -Isobel Grieve, Toronto Guardian

"It’s bold and confronts the audience in a way that makes the viewer engage." -Ariel Powers-Schaub, Ghouls Ghouls Ghouls

Tickets $8.75 ($8 cash at the door if available).
