Comedy

The Innocent

Noémie Merlant is so vivacious, funny, and determined that her César Award for her performance here is certainly deserved.

Something in the Dirt

How not to make a supernatural phenomena into a cash cow.

The Banshees of Inisherin | TIFF 2022

A return to form for Martin McDonagh, with this dark, macabre comedy. Though the story is gritty, grim, and grotesque, the location lends it an almost epic-like grandeur.

The Good Boss

A fine and engaging dark comedy of the lying and hypocrisy of the business world.

Vengeance

A social satire, mystery, and thriller: B.J. Novak’s film has a lot on its mind.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes on

With one large gaping eye and two feet wearing the titular pink shoes, Marcel is a stop-motion animation/live-action hybrid that could have been dreamed up by a feverish René Magritte.

Brian and Charles

An odd, very dry British comedy, takes a while to rev up.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

This tailor-made project for Nicolas Cage doubles as a retread and tribute to the Oscar-winning actor’s 1990s action movies.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

The movie’s title kind of says it all.
