The Beloved TIFF Review: Javier Bardem Has Met His Match in Victoria Luengo
Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s The Beloved (El ser querido) is unlike any family drama I’ve watched because things don’t get fixed. And instead of that being the film’s weakness, it’s a strength. Oftentimes when it comes to films where there is a…
American Hostage TIFF Review: Interesting, if A Little Long
American Hostage is an interesting, perfectly acted look at a real-life story that, at times, stretches the premise a bit thin but never ends up being dull. Adapted from the 2022 scripted podcast and inspired by true events, the show…

In Waves, based on AJ Dungo’s acclaimed 2019 graphic memoir of the same name, is a visually striking and also incredibly emotional debut for filmmaker Phuong Mai Nguyen. It’s also the kind of movie that reminds you that life is…

La Bola Negra TIFF Review: This is Why It’s Important to Preserve LGBTQ+ Stories
La Bola Negra is a wonder of a movie about the importance of preserving and telling LGBTQ+ stories. It’s intimate, hopeful, powerful, and the kind of story you want to watch over and over again because it’s thought-provoking, grand, but…
Future Tense TIFF Review: Time-Travel Adventure Sanitized for a White Audience in Mind
Future Tense sees the depiction of Black trauma told through a white perspective and sanitized for a white audience in mind. And this isn’t to say that white directors or writers like Jenna Cato Bass can’t tell Black stories. They…
The Smell of Apples TIFF Review: Don’t Look Away
The Smell of Apples is the kind of movie that forces you to reckon not just with the reality of apartheid South Africa, but also with the things seemingly normal people did to justify the horrors and continue living their…
Always Lalisa TIFF Review: You’ll Laugh, Cry, & Get to Know a New Side of Lisa
Always Lalisa is an intimate look at a global superstar told with a gentle hand that strips back the glamor and reveals a woman with the same fears, joys, and anxieties as the rest of us. It’s also a journey…
The Julia Set TIFF Review: Doesn’t Have to Break the Wheel to Be Intriguing
The Julia Set, starring Chase Infiniti and Christopher Briney, is the kind of movie that, on the surface, can feel pretty predictable. There’s only one satisfying way for the story to go, after all. But movies don’t have to deliver…
