Goliath (2019)

Canadian writer/director/producer Luke Villemaire came up with the concept for this film while attending Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and was able to raise money to make it through crowdfunding and start filming in 2016. It would premiere at the Forest City Film Fest in 2019, but not get an on-demand release until 2023. It tells the story of Robin Walker (Jessica Sipos), a big-city reporter who has to return to her small hometown after six years away to attend her father’s funeral. The bittersweet family reunion is even more complicated by the uncovering of family secrets and Robin coming to terms with the pain and anguish she’s been on both the giving and receiving end of. Michelle Mylett plays Violet, Robin’s sister, who left her job at the marina to be caretaker to their terminally ill father and now makes ends meet by dancing at a strip club. We catch a glimpse of her working the pole in some lingerie before the arrival of her sis, which causes her to walk off the stage, then we’re treated to more skin when she splashes around a lake in a string bikini. The name Goliath is apt, because they’ll be something giant in your pants!
