Who I Am

About the channel

Unconventional Critic is a Montreal-based film-review channel run by Vladimir Zhuravlev. I deliver sharp, honest, no-fluff takes on new theatrical and festival releases for a Canadian audience — covering mainstream blockbusters, indie gems, and genre cinema alike. My reviews go up fast, respect embargoes, and speak to real moviegoers, not just industry insiders.

What I cover

  • Advance & press screenings (in-person + virtual)
  • New theatrical releases — wide & indie
  • Festival coverage & roundups
  • Full reviews, first-reactions & Shorts

For Publicists & Distributors

Working with the press

My commitment

I strictly honor all embargoes and typically publish reviews within 24–72 hours of a screening (same-day or next-day for festivals). I always send the live link back to your team and tag the film and distributor across social platforms. Add me to your screening invitation list — in Montreal or virtual.
