Film-Forward

Comedy

My Old Ass

A tender, occasionally aching film, with an appealing cast and pretty locations.

A Different Man

Adam Schimberg’s atmospheric film is a winding ride, peppered with black comedy and ambiguity.

Anora | TIFF 2024

If directing is 90% casting, then that is the main reason why Anora remains engaging through its ups and downs. 

Stress Positions

The comedy’s title refers to the psychological and emotional state of its characters during a pandemic. (Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?)

Hundreds of Beavers

If you really want to punish David Zaslav for shelving Coyote vs. Acme, you’ll seek out Hundreds of Beavers wherever it’s playing.

Dream Scenario

A unique dark comedy by a rising filmmaker, starring a performer who regularly defies expectations.

The Holdovers

Alexander Payne immediately creates a cocoon of detailed, vintage atmosphere in his latest 1970 end-of-year holidays-set movie.

American Fiction | TIFF 2023

First time director Cord Jefferson accomplishes quite a balancing act. He has made a family drama and, more pungently and winningly, a satire aimed at an adult audience. 

Paint

Owen Wilson stars as a Bob Ross–inspired painter in this comedy, which is at its best when it embraces absurdity.
