Chandler Levack’s ‘Mile End Kicks’ Hits Theaters as ‘Roommates’ Lands on Netflix

The twin release marks a leap from her indie breakout to a rare studio comedy job for a female director.

Overview

  • Both projects opened at the same time, with Mile End Kicks in theaters and Roommates on Netflix.
  • Mile End Kicks draws on Levack’s 2011 Montreal years and centers a young woman carving out space in a male‑dominated music press.
  • RogerEbert.com praised the film’s lived‑in insight and called Barbie Ferreira’s lead turn one of the strongest portraits of a twenty‑something character.
  • Roommates is a college comedy produced by Adam Sandler and starring his daughter Sadie, which Levack directed while flying between New Jersey and Toronto.
  • Her 2022 debut I Like Movies raised her profile and helped lead to both projects, signaling a rapid move from indie acclaim to broader studio reach.
