Read MoreWin tickets to see Dead Souls, the new film from Alex Cox
Powerhouse Films is bringing Dead Souls, the latest film from cult filmmaker Alex Cox (Repo Man, Sid and Nancy), to the big screen! In 1890 – the year of the US census – chaos erupts when a mysterious drifter named Strindler (Cox) arrives in a town in Arizona and offers money to anyone who can provide the names of dead Mexican labourers. But, between the town drunk, hot-headed cowhands, and local outlaws,...

Read MoreBook Review – The Book Was Better: the Triumphs and Travesties of Book to Film Adaptation
“The Book Was Better: the Triumphs and Travesties of Book to Film Adaptation” by Louise Willder, One World Publications Now here’s a rather tasty little treat for those of us who adore both film and books, a little meditation on something that, let’s be honest, every reader who like cinema has thought at some point, especially when it involves an adaptation of a personal favourite...

Read MoreReview: Forgotten Island – “This is a visual film. It is loud and complex and kinetic.”
Okay, so the headline is: Forgotten Island successfully papers over a multitude of cracks by throwing enough colour and movement at its intended audience to distract from the flaws. It did manage to make me tear up, so I must have liked it, but in a “hey, this actress (turns out to be Liza Soberano) is really selling this” way, rather than the guaranteed weeping of Pixar or The Wild Robot. Quick rant, I...

Read MoreDigger – Let’s Get Nuts!
It has taken much longer to write this review than I intended because of writers’ fatigue. The incessant and exhausting discourse around cinema that has escalated in 2026 has worn me down. So instead of a review, I tried to work out what led to all this noise. Plenty of the discourse started out as positive; celebrating movies achieving great success without what were once considered the two...

Read MoreReview: You Had To Be There – “A crowd-pleaser.”
In 1971, New York City saw the opening of an off-Broadway show that became a phenomenon. In a time of ‘peace and love’ and hippie culture, the stage of La Mama theatre welcomed the show Godspell to rave reviews and some protest. Depicting Jesus and his disciples as clowns wouldn’t be seen without some controversy. But, John-Michael Tebelak’s and Stephen Schwartz’s musical...

Read MoreRecollections & Awards at TIFF 2026
It is funny how quickly the familiar becomes the unfamiliar in that there was a time I was spending five days a week travelling three hours back and forth to Toronto on public transit but with me getting used to remote way of living where I can conduct a interview via the Internet and afterwards start transcribing without having to move, the ways of past become a shock to system when they have to be...

Read MoreTIFF 2026 Review: The Debut – “One of the best films of the year.”
Musical theatre nerds, rejoice! Because The Debut is just as good as you’ve heard through the grapevine. Might it have used a little more Bernadette Peters? Sure, but what couldn’t? This film truthfully isn’t really a musical, but more a movie about a musical which is taking place in a community theatre and they are about to hold auditions for the three-night run of Nosy Neighbors. But regardless of...

Read MoreTIFF 2026 Review: Girl Group
You would be forgiven if you didn’t realize that Girl Group was Rebel Wilson’s second turn in the director’s chair. Back in 2024, Wilson came to the Toronto International Film Festival with her directorial debut called The Deb. It was an original musical and a fairly solid film, however, it ended up embroiled in several legal battles that ended up burying its release (you can find it now on digital...
