2000s

This week on the blog, Ben Apatoff reviews Mile End Kicks, Chandler Levack’s Canadian coming-of-age film about an aspiring music writer who moves to Montreal determined to write a book on Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill (for a little series you may have heard of…). He explores how the film captures the ambition, awkwardness, and resilience of a young music journalist navigating the indie rock scene and why its story resonates with anyone who’s ever tried to turn a love of music into a voice of their own.
