The Last Showgirl | TIFF 2024
By Kent Turner September 11, 2024
It’s the G-string versus the PTA.
An awkward trio form a lopsided dynamic camping three days in the woods.
Is playwright Annie Baker’s debut film the cinematic masterpiece that many reviews are already claiming?
The stereotype-busting drama is a rarity, an optimistic film set in a prison.
Writer/director Savanah Leaf guides the viewer with ease and delicate care in her impressive debut.
Paul Schrader once again brings us into the world of a troubled protagonist seeking some sort of redemption.
The main character in Kelly Reichardt’s new, temperate film, could use a little oomph. Or, is that a little ooh la la?
Writer/director Raven Jackson’s debut feature reveals a perceptive and immensely talented filmmaker. The pleasures here are mainly mined from the visual and aural details.
The movie starts as a character study piece and slowly becomes a psychological thriller (kind of) where an artist is no longer the author of her fate.
