60 of 63 · most liked firstTonight’s movie is The Stunt Driver. I’ve been so excited to see this film. It tells the story of Ken “The Mad Canadian” Carter and his attempt to jump the St. Lawrence in a rocket powered car in the 1970s. One of my favourite Canadian stories.
positive · AI labelView post →have discovered before this year's The Stunt Driver there was another movie based on Ken Carter, except in The Devil Dared Me To (2007) he's a New Zealand stunt man trying to jump the Cook Strait. haven't watched yet but from the poster it seems like they made the rocket car look way too good
neutral · AI labelView post →Not gonna do the annoying insta-reax for everything I see at TIFF, I promise, but I just wanna make the DEVIL AT YOUR HEELS hive aware that THE STUNT DRIVER not only respects that movie but deepens it, which isn't something you can usually say for doc-into-narrative pics. Good movie! Baruchel great!
positive · AI labelView post →Was privileged to see a screening The Stunt Driver, a Canadian movie about stunt driver Ken Carter. The most Canadian movie I’ve seen in a good while. Jay Baruchel goes full hoser. Fundamentally the movie is about not feeling like you’re enough, but wanting to prove otherwise.

neutral · AI labelView post →Looks like a trailer isn’t even up on YouTube yet, but the one for THE STUNT DRIVER that played before MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE was great. Overwhelming CanCon vibes. Hope the whole movie is shot like a vintage documentary.
positive · AI labelView post →It's an unusually strong post-TIFF weekend for Toronto theatres: PRIMETIME, THE STUNT DRIVER, THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE, HA-CHAN SHAKE YOUR BOOTY! are all very worthy of your time, in very different ways. There’s also a Brad Pitt-and-a-dog movie, which I haven’t seen. Go see a movie! Again!

positive · AI labelView post →Can Ken Carter, played by Jay Baruchel, land a one-mile-long jump over the St. Lawrence in a rocket car? Based on a real NFB documentary, Baruchel's magnetic performance propels 'The Stunt Driver' film from start to finish. Our first review from TIFF, by @dgrdon.bsky.social.
neutral · AI labelView post →If there's a showing of The Stunt Driver in your neck of the woods I would implore you to catch a screening. A really fun and well rounded film made with a lot of heart and soul. Five other people came to our screening and every single one of them sat through the entirety of the credits.

neutral · AI labelView post →THE STUNT DRIVER (***): More okay than especially good film about Canada's very own Evel Knievel. A rather familiar tale of yet another aging guy determined to leave a mark on the world even if that mark is his body mangled inside a crashed rocket car. Jay Burachel & Ed Helms really carry the film.

Obviously it was the inspiration for that film, but it's fascinating to see how the producers copied even scene transitions from the doc. Absolute great documentary and free to watch on the NFB.

What a great watch. We also need more of Ed Helms playing a 70s-era character. Way more. Amazing. Find a way to watch it. 8/10.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Stunt Driver ⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The movie is a pretty chill psychological comedy about a man painstakingly perfecting his artform (complete with footage of the actual stunts being performed). Art can be frustrating while it's being made, so the film can be equally frustrating."
