Steve Spielberg and pop-culture nostalgia dominate the multiplexes this Easter weekend, while art house offering include an Oscar-nominated Russian drama and a unique animated caper thriller.

Andrey Zvyagintsev's Oscar-nominated Loveless weaves a tale of a child's emotional abandonment into an unsettling procedural.

David Riedel finds Have a Nice Day a solid mix of unpretentious animation and comic crime thriller.
