    This business movie was really good. Jay Baruchel, Glenn Howerton, Matthew Johnson, Michael Ironside, and the rest of the cast did a spectacular job in this movie. This true story about the rise and fall of Blackberry was dramatic, shocking, and tragic. It's about creating a device to make peoples' lives easier and taking advantage of others to get what you want. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see.

    In my top 3 movies of the year along with the Weird Al Biopic and Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Glenn Howerton puts on a clinic and proves why he's one of the greatest actors of our generation. This movie should have been boring and not this entertaining, it was anything but. Pure genius. Bravo! 👏👏👏

    It's labeled as a comedy, but I didn't think it was funny. In fact it was thrilling...! One of the best biographical "tech thriller" I have ever watched and I didn't see it coming. BlackBerry is about the ultimate smart-phone (at the time) which was selled as a social status symbol and business device, which provides not only an interesting narrative (since the source material AKA real life story is interesting itself) but it also offers some social commentary on the humanity's perpetual seek of status. It's also about a successful corporate adventure that turned into a corporate nightmare. Director Matt Johnson knows the material he's handling and knows the only thing he needs to make is to keep the narrative dynamic - and he succeeds! Great editing work, a great ensemble cast (with Glenn Howerton being utterly fantastic as the controversial corporate shark Jim Balsillie) and a killer playlist that offer audiences a ride back to the 90's and early 2000's. BlackBerry is the most surprising random movie pick I've had this year... I was looking for something to get me entertained and I ended-up completely engaged. It's a movie that grabs the audiences and offers a lesson about greed and the consequences of aiming to fly too close to the sun.

    Tight intriguing story, no nuance, suprisingly heartfelt. Good performances. Based on a somewhat true story set in recent contemporary/ modern history.

    Blackberry - 10/10. Matt Johnson's new "The Social Network" like film is a Canadian tinged tragic drama comedy about one of the most well known 00's brands: Blackberry. Following the historic rise (and historic fall) of the company, this movie follows the characters from their humble beginnings to the devastating eventual lows. Like Social Network, this movie tracks the character arcs and how money, ego, and success affect them. We have excellent acting, writing, and directing here, with some of the funniest lines so far this year during the NHL meeting scene. Though its a limited budget, you can tell how much care and enthusiasm this film has towards its subject matter. And as a Canadian its quite bittersweet to see the story of a behemoth go belly up. Great film, and one of the best Canadian films in years!
