I have been watching a lot of Canadian film and television recently due to online film festivals being "the norm" in 2020 and I stumbled upon THE FUGUE.
After some friends had recommended it, I decided to have a watch. A great lean story with wonderful performances from the three leads. I was actually surprised by the ending too! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to be inspired by what kinds of independent films are being made in Canada!
