At first glance, it may seem like any other melodrama but as the narrative\u00a0delves deeper into our characters, the overall haunting tone of the film it slowly transforms it into something more. The film travels deeper and deeper into your gut and soul, forcing you to keep thinking about it for weeks (maybe even months) to come.<\/p>\n<p>Shirley Henderson is revolutionary\u00a0here, delivering a silently heartbreaking performance that sadly won\u2019t be recognized during awards season, but should be witnessed by everyone. Her realistic portrayal of the disease makes this performance even more groundbreaking. Let us also not forget TIFF\u2019s rising star, Th\u00e9odore Pellerin, who delivers a performance that is subtly perfect. He may seem like a third-wheel to the whole narrative, but his coming-of-age story about sexual confusion is one that is more precious and impactful than quite a lot of anything else we have seen so far this year.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately,\u00a0<em>Never Steady, Never Still<\/em>\u00a0falls into the little-known sub genre of \u201cpeople talk, nothing happens\u201d. It\u2019s a genre of hidden gems and festival hits that never really get the mainstream attention they deserve. Hopefully, this one will be selling out venues and gaining standing ovations due to how incredibly moving it is. It\u2019s a story about people just trying to do what they think is right and I loved it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating: 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Public Screenings: Sept 9 12:45 pm, Sept 11 9:15 pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Scanga\u00a0\/ Get Reel Movies The premise of Kathleen Hepburn\u2019s directorial debut is fairly straight forward \u2013 A widowed-mother attempts to cope with Parkinson\u2019s disease while her teenage son comes of age.
