Two best movies of the year so far are Canadian independent works about love and the power of cinema. Must be something we can learn from this

[The Hollywood Reporter @THR]

'Blue Heron' is the most acclaimed film of 2026, and director Sophy Romvari says its existence can be credited to grants provided by the Canadian government at both the script and production stages.

“I really did make exactly the movie I wanted to make.... When I started making work in Canada, I was not aware of the privilege of living in a country that has access to arts funding. The version of this film that I would’ve made within the American system would be very, very different — and I don’t know if that one would’ve gotten distribution.” https://t.co/3IJQEP8Mfn

This weekend, see BLUE HERON — the transcendent feature debut from Sophy Romvari — in theaters c/o @janusfilms. 💙 https://t.co/RCAXFhVZqG

@SophyRomvari's feature debut is a lyrical and profound testament to the things we carry with us, masterfully chronicling the haze of a languid summer and the hyaline clarity of the moments that defined it.

[The Film Stage 📽 @TheFilmStage]

Sophy Romvari's astonishing feature debut #BlueHeron, opening today, features extraordinary restraint in summoning a long history of grief.

@SophyRomvari @IndieWire ❤️❤️❤️ The joy of a lifetime, Sophy ❤️❤️❤️

[Maya Bankovic @MayaBankovic]

An absolute dream to bring @SophyRomvari’s cinematic retelling of her personal story to life for BLUE HERON - the process was so organic thanks to her intuitive vision. This film was a long time coming, a whole lifetime. Love you so much , my friend. ❤️

@IndieWire @MayaBankovic My cinema soulmate @MayaBankovic writes so beautifully about our process and inspirations:

For years I have really appreciated the @IndieWire camera survey and found it a great resource while in development on Blue Heron -- in fact it helped us settle on the ALEXA Mini.

This is essentially an admission from the Toronto Police that their year after year of police budget increases have no tangible impact on reducing crime rates.

[Maya Bankovic @MayaBankovic]

@SophyRomvari This is so true and I especially love weeping in dark public spaces
