TIFF: The Best Movies and Performances at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival
Well now, that was a different experience from last year. In 2021 (as detailed here), most of my colleagues opted against attending the Toronto International Film Festival, doing it virtually instead.

Mia Goth and Ti West have something special going right now.

TIFF Film Review: ‘Chevalier’ Is a Beautiful but Underwhelming Costume Drama
In the grand opening of Stephen Williams’ Chevalier, we see a musical maestro entertaining an audience with a violin. It is the late 18th century and this special star is none other than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who introduces himself with narcissistic relish.
