‘Mountains’ Review: Touching Story Of Haitian Family In Miami Is Impressive Directorial Debut For Monica Sorelle – Toronto Film Festival
Watching Mountains, which just made its international debut as part of the Toronto Film Festival’s Centerpiece program, I could not help but think of two other landmark films it seems to recall in its own way. One was 2019’s The Last Black Man In San Francisc…
‘The Movie Teller’ Review: Bérénice Bejo, Daniel Brühl In An Enchanting Chilean Cross Between ‘The Last Picture Show’ And ‘Cinema Paradiso’ – Toronto Film Festival
When I was in college cinema courses I made a Super 8 film called Movie Girl. It was a Hollywood-set love letter to movies centered on a Musso & Frank waitress who put herself dreamily into the plots of classic films. It won an award there but was the…

‘Pain Hustlers’ Review: Emily Blunt & Chris Evans In Chilling Movie That Explores The Dark Side Of Pharma Grifters – Toronto Film Festival
Netflix’s Pain Hustlers is a largely fictionalized tale of a very real-world and rather eye-opening business: selling an easy fix for what ails us, even if it leads to addiction and death.
Although names have been changed and characters invented…
‘The Burial’ Review: Jamie Foxx And Tommy Lee Jones Lead Rousing David Vs. Goliath Deep South Legal Story – Toronto Film Festival
The Burial is a not-so-great title; it sounds like a horror film. I hope it doesn’t keep people away from this highly entertaining, crowd-pleasing movie that otherwise is an example of what good old fashioned Hollywood filmmaking can still be all about in…
‘The Royal Hotel’ Review: Julia Garner And Jessica Henwick View Men From A Female Gaze In Kitty Green’s Return To Australian Filmmaking – Toronto Film Festival
In 2019, Australian documentary filmmaker Kitty Green made her first narrative movie, a piercing almost cinéma vérité-style movie focused on an office assistant in a Tribeca film company run by a not-so-thinly disguised Harvey Weinstein. The male culture there and the sexual acts of the boss made it…

Fall film festivals are usually where we look for the more serious awards-bait pictures, but occasionally, as with tonight’s rousing world premiere of Taikia Waititi’s long-gestating soccer comedy Next Goal Wins, you get a real commercial crowd…
‘Dream Scenario’ Review: Nicolas Cage Hits The Heights Of Comedy In A Hysterical Role Like No Other In His Career – Toronto Film Festival
Nicolas Cage, after more than 100 credits, finally has his dream role, at least as comedy fans are concerned. He knocks it out of the park as a schlubby, balding college professor who suddenly starts appearing in people’s dreams, first his daughter’s, then an old girlfriend’s, and soon millions of people…
‘Mother, Couch’ Review: Ewan McGregor In A Kafkaesque Family Drama Set In An IKEA Universe Where Ellen Burstyn Becomes A Couch Potato – Toronto Film Festival
Take a bit of Kafka, throw in some Buñuelian realism, add a dose of John Cheever (circa The Swimmer) and then hand the recipe over to a first-time feature-making Swedish director with fond memories of a childhood spent in IKEA furniture stores, then put together an A-List cast, and you essentially have Mot…
