Read MoreTIFF 2026 Review: La Gradiva – “A bittersweet examination of a formative period.”
A group of French teenagers are embarking on a class trip to Pompeii. They’re in their last year of high school and awaiting acceptance letters for the next step in their education. These are kids from different backgrounds and social statuses that may never hang out when they’re at school, so dynamics feel a little different, yet the cliques are still the same. They’re on the precipice of great change,...

Read MoreTIFF 2026 Review: Josephine – “compelling, uncomfortable and something I will not soon forget.”
Trigger warning: This film, and therefore this review will discuss sexual assault. Please take care while reading (and watching). There’s a movie that I’ve referenced a few times during this festival. Perhaps it’s just because I’ve watched a couple Scandinavian films, but it’s seemingly more for their subject matter, which often involves children and some version of trauma....

Read MoreTIFF 2026 Film Review: All That She Wants – “The screenplay is smart and feels refreshing.”
Torontonians LOVE a movie that is set in Toronto. Look at the 2013 festival darling The F Word, and the recent success of Nirvanna the Band, the Show, the Movie which was the talk of the town. So while we will have to make some concessions with the fact the school in this film isn’t called the University of Toronto, one glimpse of the CN Tower makes it clear All That She Wants is set on our...

Read MoreTIFF 2026 Review: Fjord – “What powers the film is the subtle performances from Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan.”
A fjord is an inlet in the ocean surrounded by towering rocks. They’re an incredibly beautiful part of Norway’s landscape. But for some areas, it seems incredibly isolating. The community at the heart of Cristian Mungiu’s Fjord is one such place – small, where everyone is a neighbour, though not everyone may be a friend. “You have to learn to admit when you’re...

Read MoreTIFF 2026 Review: A Talent for Murder – “The dialogue is sharp.”
An up-and-coming literary agent is given the task of convincing author Patricia Highsmith to write one more murder mystery featuring Tom Ripley. Moving around her own home like the spooky Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca is Patricia Highsmith, who likes to mentally torment people; this is somewhat explained in a framed nasty letter written by her equally nasty mother. There is a Strangers on a Train moment as...
