TIFF 2023 Video: Festival Highlights Including Spike Lee Receiving the TIFF Ebert Director Award | Festivals & Awards

The Toronto International Film Festival 2023 had a very strong lineup. We are all mindful and supportive of the ongoing actor and writer strikes. Still, there was plenty to see and talk about.

The Storms of Jeremy Thomas movie review (2023)

Cousins’ narration gets a bit MFA fiction workshop at certain points, but that’s a feature of his work, not a bug (in another life, he might’ve been a novelist, possibly in a Beat writer mode). The film is organized around storms and divided into numbered chapters with titles like “Sex” and “Death.” It gets a bit fanboyish when delving

Superpower movie review & film summary (2023)

That last film is by far the most interesting of the ones that Penn gives us in this grab-bag of a movie. And it’s a shame because the few relatively brief sections of “Superpower” that scrutinize Zelensky as a self-created political icon (in the tradition of Ronald Reagan, Fred Dalton Thompson, and Donald Trump) are

TIFF 2023: Memory, The Promised Land, Origin | Festivals & Awards

From this unusual starting point, Michel Franco (“Sundown”) weaves a tale of a unique relationship. Sylvia knows how to care for people as a worker at a public home, but she co-exists with her trauma in a way that has led to addiction in the past. She alternates work, AA meetings, and caring for her
