Entertaining but not profound

It's a Canadian character drama set in the summer of 2024 in and around a small public library branch in Toronto, Ontario. Miriam Gordon (Britt Lower) is a 40-ish lonely single woman grieving the death of her father, who suffered from bibliomania. Her co-workers include Susu (Sook-Yin Lee) and her boss, Irene (Jean Yoon). We also meet regular idiosyncratic patrons like the Suitcase Man (Clyde Whitham) and the Unusually Pale Female (Susannah Hoffmann).We see Miriam in her apartment, at work, and eating her lunch outside in a public space, where she meets Janko Priajtilj (Tom Mercier), a somewhat more outgoing Slovenian taxi driver who eats his lunch in the same space. She connects with Janko, and a relationship follows. The film's unexpected ending allows time for reflection on fathers. The film's title comes from Janko's observations about Miriam.Britt Lower's Miriam carries this 90-minute film. A sensitively written script that includes the realities of a modern public library--complete with humor mixed with darker realities. "Darkest Miriam" could have tried to go deeper, but chose not to. We learn less about Janko than we would like, and none of the other characters have real depth. Thus, "Darkest Miriam" is entertaining but not profound.
