TIFF Review: The Wedding Guest
The Wedding Guest is a superbly crafted mystery with terrific performances. Winterbottom is such a versatile director.
TIFF ’18 Recap
As a TIFF newbie with a press badge, I give a brief recap of my experience at TIFF 18 and what I learned.
TIFF Review: The Man Who Feels No Pain
The Man Who Feels No Pain is a hip action movie with kick ass slow motion sequences, infectious music, and a lead actor who is posed for stardom.
TIFF Review: Red Joan
Starring Judi Dench and Sophie Cookson, Red Joan is a story of a British scientist turned KGB spy. Fairly old-fashioned period piece.
TIFF Review: The Old Man & the Gun
Classic movie lovers should be all over this one. Redford is charming as a gentleman bank robber. A sweet love story with Sissy Spacek. Funny and witty. A tribute to Redford’s career.
TIFF Review: Prosecuting Evil
Essential viewing. 99 year old Ferencz, last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor, has an important message from the past to deliver to the future.
TIFF Review: Belmonte
A tender portrait of a single dad & his daughter. Also a quirky portrait of an artist who is borderline tormented.
TIFF Review: Tell It to the Bees
A sweet little indie film. Grainger and Paquin are great. The bees add an almost fantastical element to the story. I hope it finds its audience.
Ask Me Anything: TIFF Edition
Curious about TIFF? I answer questions submitted through social media all about TIFF, my first experience, what I would do differently and more.
TIFF Review: Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Captivating drama. Melissa McCarthy seamlessly embodies the unapologetic Lee Israel. Richard E. Grant is perfection as the shifty sidekick.
TIFF Review: The Quietude
Argentine family drama about rich people with dark secrets. Takes several twists & turns. Borders on melodrama. At times absurd and humorous
