‘Dear Jassi’ Review: Tarsem Singh’s TIFF Platform Award Winner Is A Shattering Real-Life Tragedy [TIFF]

Director Tarsem Singh Dhandwar ominously warned audiences at the world premiere of his Punjabi-language debut that it was a much more serious affair than they might be expecting. After all, the Romeo and Juliet framing in the festival notes and the film’s title pointed towards a young-love romantic melodrama.

‘American Fiction’ Review: Cord Jefferson Delivers A Funny & Insightful Feature Debut [TIFF]

TORONTO – “American Fiction,” the directorial debut from Cord Jefferson, is genuinely a very, very funny movie. And that’s hyperbole on our part.

‘Wildcat’ Review: Director Ethan Hawke’s Portrait Of Writer Flannery O’Connor Blurs Her Truths & Fictions [TIFF]

You could cinematically memorialize the life and works of Southern writer Flannery O’Connor in two ways, either by making a biographical drama or by adapting her work to the screen. Actor Ethan Hawke, however, directing a dramatic feature film for the fourth time, says, “Why not both?” and gives us a mélange of the two.

TIFF: Cord Jefferson’s ‘American Fiction’ With Jeffrey Wright Wins Toronto Film Fest Audience Award

Trends change and ebb and flow, but in years past, winning the Toronto International Film Festival audience award used to be a surefire way to mean you were getting an Oscar nomination for Best Picture and, and many instances, winning the big Academy Award prize. And while the winning element of that trend has somewhat waned in recent years, the power of the prize is still there.

‘Wicked Little Letters’ Review: Olivia Colman And Jessie Buckley Spar In Diverting Little Triffle [TIFF]

“Wicked Little Letters” narrates the bizarre tale of several foul-mouthed anonymous letters that began terrorizing the small British town of Littlehampton in the 1920s. Against all odds, what might seem like a contrived, ridiculous story is almost entirely true.

‘Ezra’ Review: Bobby Cannavale’s Formulaic Autism Dramedy Devolves Into A Pile Of Platitudes

Movies containing portrayals of autism haven’t always treated the subject with sensitivity and conviction. Some breakout successes like “Rain Man” have conflated it with the savant syndrome, which isn’t representative of the full spectrum of people with autism.

‘Reptile’ Review: Benicio del Toro Spices Up A Familiar But Compelling Crime Drama Aspiring For Villeneuve Darkness [TIFF]

Everyone wants to be David Fincher when you’re making a capital S serious, severe procedural, and grim murder mystery like Netflix’s uneven but still fascinating “Reptile.” And to be sure, gray and sinister —like all good serial killer or intricate murder thrillers are these days— director Grant Singer might reference a Fincher shot here and there or try inventively add a little Steven Soderbergh paranoia ala “KIMI.

‘Evil Does Not Exist’ Review: Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s ‘Drive My Car’ Follow-Up Is An Oblique Ecological Fable [TIFF]

Unassuming Japanese master Ryusuke Hamaguchi was jolted into the dehumanizing glare of the Oscar machine after “Drive My Car” became an unexpected cause célèbre a few years ago. That generational masterpiece saw him ascend to the pinnacle of instant and unanimous global adoration and forged a salivating fanbase eagerly anticipating his subsequent work.

‘Copa 71’ Review: A Forgotten Women’s World Cup Is Fodder For An Adequate, But Winning Sports Doc [TIFF]

It’s odd to think that there once existed a time when the mere idea of women participating in a World Cup match was, to say the least, seen by some as farfetched; indeed, as the 1960s faded into a new decade, women who wanted to play professional football weren’t just frowned upon, it was not allowed. One would think that a somewhat secretive World Cup featuring team rosters that were 100% female taking place at this time would make enough of a sound that history would look back upon such an event with the sort of reverence generally reserved for the most outstanding achievements in the world of sports.

‘The End We Start From’ Review: Jodie Comer Stars In Refreshingly Grounded Disaster Drama [TIFF]

TORONTO – There always seems to be this assumption in Hollywood that when the end of the world comes it will be quick. A nuclear holocaust will destroy the environment in hours or a massive space object will send civilization back into the dark ages in an instant.

‘Sorry/Not Sorry’ Review: Louis C.K. Doc Offers The Facts But Doesn’t Tackle The Glaring Questions [TIFF]

The #MeToo movement only started six years ago, but over that time, we’ve seen its massive impact on Hollywood. Mostly, this has been for the better, as predators are being named and (sometimes) held accountable for their actions.

‘Songs Of Earth’ Review: A Beautiful, Overly Long Look At A Norwegian Life [TIFF]

As majestic in appearance as a “National Geographic” special or any episode of “NOVA,” the opening shots of the semi-documentary “Songs of Earth” are quick to immediately showcase beautiful cinematography that’s as much a character as any of the several humans who materialize from time to time, both elements of the film that do their best to drive things forward and attempt to keep the onscreen action from slipping into a black hole of dull.

‘The Peasants’ Review: ‘Loving Vincent’ Filmmakers Return With Another Visually Stunning, Hand-Cell-Painted Animated Film [TIFF]

It is an overused cliche to describe visually stunning films as “every frame of this movie could be a painting hanging on the wall.” It is now an actual fact for at least two films. “Loving Vincent” was the first animated feature-length film composed exclusively of hand-painted oil paintings as its individual frames.

‘Green Border’ Review: Agnieszka Holland Won’t Let You Turn A Blind Eye To Suffering In Devastating Refugee Drama [TIFF]

A family of Syrian refugees and an English teacher from Afghanistan receive about five minutes of joy in veteran Polish auteur Agnieszka Holland’s otherwise grim and harrowing refugee drama, “Green Border.” As they land in a plane to Belarus, hoping to cross into Poland and eventually Sweden for asylum where refugee status awaits, their eyes beam with optimism as a new land of promise reflects on their smiling faces.
