Whether you’re an self-confessed film aficionado or just a casual moviegoer, you’ll likely know that cinema is in the thick of its annual awards season. This past weekend hosted the 72nd Golden Globes ceremony, which is an appropriate appetizer ahead of the mainline Oscars event in February. And one film that has frequently found itself in the awards conversation is J.C. Chandor’s period drama A Most Violent Year, which stars Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain.
So, to celebrate the release of the film, We Got This Covered has tickets to giveaway for a host of screenings across Canada, ranging from January 19 to January 22. In our review, we found J.C. Chandor’s latest outing to be wholly enjoyable, buoyed by the chemistry between the film’s two leads.
J.C. Chandor’s latest period piece strays favorably from the path of typical gangster films, giving both Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain ample room to flex their professional dominance.

A Most Violent Year is a searing crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city’s history. From acclaimed writer/director J.C. Chandor, and starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, this gripping story plays out within a maze of rampant political and industry corruption plaguing the streets of a city in decay. J.C. Chandor’s third feature examines one immigrant’s determined climb up amorally crooked ladder, where simmering rivalries and unprovoked attacks threaten his business, family, and––above all––his own unwavering belief in the righteousness of his path. With A Most Violent Year, Chandor journeys in a bold new direction, toward the place where best intentions yield to raw instinct, and where we are most vulnerable to compromise what we know to be right.
