      The hockey arena is seen to be 'Herbert H. Carnegie' arena in an establishing shot. It's only been known by this name since 2005. When the film was set, in 1988, it would have been the "North York Centennial Centre".

    Refreshingly good English Canadian cinema
    I'd like to take this space to thank the filmmakers for doing right by Canadians, and creating a good English Canadian film, re-confirming that Quebec has competition in good film-making in Canada.

    I grew up elsewhere in Ontario, but the feeling of the times in the film is familiar. I think this film captures far better than Breakfast Club what it was actually like to be a teen in the 80s.

    I did feel that the ending was too abrupt. It felt not like a conclusion but simply running out of script, and that's the main thing holding me back from rating this higher than 7.

    But I appreciated the good acting, particularly from Mark Rendell. I also appreciated that the cinematography worked to bring the characters forward, rather than drawing needless attention to itself.

    So, yeah, I'm glad I saw it. I don't say that often.
