Hello Destroyer is a 2016 Canadian drama film written and directed by Kevan Funk.[2] It had its world premiere in the Discovery section at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.[3]

The film stars Jared Abrahamson as an enforcer on a hockey team who faces difficult consequences when a hit on an opposing player during a game turns more violent than intended.[4] It was nominated for four Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Motion Picture.

Cast

Production

The film was an expansion of his 2013 short film Destroyer.[5]

According to Funk, his intention was to make a film that explored institutional and systemic violence rather than a sports film per se;[6] he chose a hockey-related setting as it represented an "aggressively Canadian" cultural institution which has a complex relationship with violence and toxic masculinity, and has stated that if he were making the same film in the United States he would likely have chosen a military setting.[6]

The film was shot primarily in Prince George, British Columbia, including at the CN Centre.[7]

Reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 100% based on 11 reviews.[8] Vice Sports describes the film as "about how violence is cultivated, showcased and then punished within a set of institutions that require its presence to be profitable",[4] and Alex Rose of the magazine Cult MTL called the film "as Canadian as a Weakerthans song and as depressing as that second Leonard Cohen record."[9]

On 7 December 2016, the film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual Canada's Top 10 list.[10]

Accolades

The film received four Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 5th Canadian Screen Awards in 2017, including Best Motion Picture and Best Actor (Abrahamson).[11]
