A 24-year-old music critic (Barbie Ferreira) gets romantically involved with two members of the same indie band she is covering, set against Montreal's vibrant indie music scene in 2011.
Based in part on writer/director Chandler Levack’s own young adulthood prior to becoming a professional music critic and filmmaker, MILE END KICKS stars Barbie Ferreira as Grace Pine, a young woman who moves to Montreal, Quebec, with the goal of writing a book about Alanis Morissette’s album, Jagged Little Pill, but instead becomes romantically involved with Archi (Devon Bostick) and Chevy (Stanley Simons), two members of the aspiring indie rock band Bone Patrol, and takes a job as the band’s publicist.
“Hilarious, slyly self-deprecating and yet deeply compassionate, writer/director Chandler Levack’s delightful gem of a movie Mile End Kicks is one that already feels like it has all the makings of a coming-of-age classic for a new generation.” Chase Hutchinson, TheWrap
“It instantly offers a breath of fresh air about what it means to pursue one’s passion for writing about the arts while being a woman.” Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com
