Twenty-five years ago, director Bruce McDonald first burst onto the Canadian film scene with his debut feature, the cult classic "Roadkill." And in the years since, he and his films have become a fixture in the country's indie movie landscape, from "Hard Core Logo" to his newest feature (and McDonald's 11th in total), "The Husband." While the movie isn't quite an anniversary celebration, it does act as a reunion of sorts, bringing McDonald back together with "The Tracey Fragments" actor Maxwell McCabe-Lokos, who co-wrote the script along with another former cast member of McDonald's, Kelly Harms.
Part drama, part comedy and even part thriller, "The Husband" takes the ripped-from-the-headlines premise of a female teacher convicted of sleeping with a 14-year-old student, and instead focuses on the one left out of the scandalous love triangle. McCabe-Lokos plays Henry, who's already struggling to cope with raising the couple's young child while attempting...

Veteran Canadian filmmaker Bruce McDonald has effectively moved between film and television over the course of his career, helming movies such as Pontypool, The Tracey Fragments, and Picture Claire, as well as episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation, Queer as Folk, and Bomb Girls. His involvement in a project garners added interest, and such was also the case with his next feature. Titled The Husband, McDonald directs from a script by Kelly Harms and Maxwell McCabe-Lokos. McCabe-Lokos also stars in the feature, working alongside Sarah Allen, August Diehl, and Dylan Authors. A full trailer for the film has now been released, and can be seen below.

For the most part, cheating spouse movies tend to focus on the wife who is left behind to care for the child and the family home while the husband goes gallivanting around. Occasionally we see the husband's story but for the most part, it's all about the poor woman who is left behind to, in essence, pick up the pieces. The Husband isn't that movie in reverse. It does touch on that but Maxwell McCabe-Lokos and Kelly Harms are far more interested in telling one man's journey as he deals with the crummy hand fate has dealt him.
McCabe-Lokos also stars as Henry, a somewhat single father responsible for caring for his son. He's not really single, it's not like his wife died or that he's divorced. She's in jail for sleeping with a 14 year old student and Henry has stayed with her, stan [Continued ...]...
