Early life

Werewolf

{{Main|Werewolf (2016 film)}}

McKenzie made her feature film directorial debut with Werewolf (2016), a film about two drug addicts in Cape Breton.[8] Werewolf premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and has since won several awards; at the 2016 Atlantic Film Festival, Werewolf won the awards for Best Director (McKenzie), Best Actress (MacNeil), and Best Actor (Gillis).[9] At the 5th Canadian Screen Awards, McKenzie was nominated for the Canadian Screen Award for Best Achievement in Editing.[10] Gillis was nominated for Best Actor and MacNeil was nominated for Best Actress.[11] In 2016, for her work on the film, McKenzie won the Stella Artois Jay Scott Prize.[2] The following year, after its theatrical release, Werewolf won the $100,000 Toronto Film Critics Association prize for best Canadian film of the year.[12]

Artistry

Joe Leydon of Variety described McKenzie's directing style as having "borderline Bressonian austerity."[13] In an article called "A Generational Shift in Filmmaking", in discussing Werewolf, Richard Brody of The New Yorker wrote that "McKenzie fuses a documentary-like observational precision with a creative imagination that endows her characters' struggles with a quietly monumental grandeur."[14]
