Sumerian Pictures has released the trailer for Mile End Kicks.

In Mile End Kicks, Grace Pine is a 24-year-old music critic in the summer of 2011 writing a book about Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill,” when she gets romantically involved with two people in the same struggling indie rock band. Set in Montreal’s Mile End music scene, where Mac DeMarco, Arcade Fire and Grimes started their careers, the film is an audacious rom-com and an honest look at a young female writer reclaiming her voice, full of ill-advised sex, drugs and rock n’roll. 

The film stars Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria, Bob Trevino Likes It), Devon Bostick (Oppenheimer, Diary of a Wimpy Kid), Stanley Simons (The Iron Claw), Juliette Gariépy (Red Rooms) and Jay Baruchel (BlackBerry, This is the End). Montreal band TOPS wrote two original songs for the soundtrack.

Written and directed by Chandler Levack (I Like Movies), Mile End Kicks premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival as the Opening Night selection of the Special Presentations program.

Mile End Kicks is a Zapruder Films/Banner House Productions and is produced by Matthew Miller (BlackBerry), Pat Kiely (Three Night Stand) and Julie Groleau (The Decline). 

Mile End Kicks is produced with the participation of Telefilm Canada, SODEC, Ontario Creates, Crave and CBC Films, in association with Rhombus Media. 

In theaters April 17th, 2026.
