TIFF Review: ‘I Play Rocky’ is an Incredibly Satisfying Crowdpleaser that Will Have You Cheering for the Underdog
There are few better underdog tales than Rocky, except, perhaps the story of how that film came to be. As such, you don’t actually have to know the movie Rocky to enjoy I Play Rocky. Now, appreciating Sylvester Stallone‘s star making vehicle helps, but this flick is so good, so entertaining, and such a crowd […] More

TIFF Review: ‘The Last Photograph’ is a Miserable Experience
When the Toronto International Film Festival added Zack Snyder‘s passion project, The Last Photograph, as a surprise to their lineup, I was genuinely curious. I usually like Snyder’s movies well enough, though rarely are over the moon for them. I’m on record thinking the Snyder Cut is an improvement on Justice League, for example. I […] More

TIFF Review: ‘Everybody Wants to Fuck Me’ Mixes Satirical Comedy and Dark Thriller to (Mostly) Solid Effect
A good high concept can be a great starting point for a genre work. In the case of Everybody Wants to Fuck Me, the high concept is able to travel across genres, which you don’t always see. What if Obsession was, at least initially, more of a comedy? In broad strokes, that’s the set up […] More

TIFF Review: ‘Evil Genius’ is a Devilishly Assured Directorial Effort From Courteney Cox
It has been over a decade since Courteney Cox made her directorial debut with Just Before I Go. Now, she’s back with Evil Genius, which shows massive growth as a filmmaker from her. This is a dark, funny, and deeply assured work, with strong acting, crisp visuals, and a real sense of pacing. I sure […] More

TIFF Review: ‘Fjord’ is a Captivating Legal Drama with a Moral Dilemma at the Center You Won’t Easily Shake Off
There’s a bad version of the plot of Fjord that comes off like straight up right wing conservative propaganda. Seeing a conservative Christian family having to fight the bureaucracy of a liberal government feels like the stuff of Pure Flix’s cinematic dreams. So, the fact that this film is not just good, but won the […] More

TIFF Review: ‘Gentle Monster’ Has a Great Léa Seydoux Performance Surrounded by a Film That Can’t Quite Keep Up With Her
I love getting to see the supremely talented Léa Seydoux get a leading role. Even more so, when she’s given a challenging one. That’s certainly the case with Gentle Monster, a dark drama that starts with an unsettling premise and goes from there. Unfortunately, while Seydoux is great, the movie is not. It’s a first […] More

TIFF Review: ‘Being Heumann’ is a Rousing and Crowd-Pleasing Call for Equal Rights
Following up a Best Picture winner is always a challenge for any filmmaker. What do you do for an encore? Sometimes, they have a blank check to pursue a passion project. Other times, they just struggle to recapture the magic. In the case of Siân Heder, she’s managed to follow up CODA with Being Heumann, […] More

Depending on when you read this, I’m either en route or have settled into my Airbnb here in Canada, in preparation for the Toronto International Film Festival. The 2026 edition of TIFF kicks off tomorrow for me bright and early. As always, it’s going to be something, […] More

Film Review: Paul Greengrass’ Style is a Poor Fit for ‘The Uprising’ (Which Didn’t Need to Be a Backdoor Robin Hood Origin Story)
Not every filmmaker is a match for every film. There’s no denying that Paul Greengrass is a supremely talented director. Just look to United 93 for an example of masterful filmmaking, even given difficult subject matter. Unfortunately, The Uprising proves to be a poor fit for Greengrass’ style, and that’s before we even get into […] More
