Twist

Directed by Jacob Tierney

A modern-day "Oliver Twist" unfolds in Toronto's hustler district, where a young queer man navigates survival, companionship, and unexpected connections amidst urban turmoil.
Twist relocates Oliver Twist to the world of teenage hustlers with a bleak, modern edge. The concept is interesting and the performances committed, though the film’s grimness can become repetitive. Its strongest moments come from the vulnerability beneath the streetwise surface.
