Film-Forward

Diciannove | TIFF 2024

The debut film by Giovanni Tortorici, a spry filmmaker, has moxie.

Anywhere Anytime | TIFF 2024

Director Milad Tangshir’s feature debut expands upon a certain Italian neorealism classic, Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves.

Saturday Night | TIFF 2024

The movie certainly gets one thing right: Many on the original Saturday Night Live were stoned and/or coked-out of their minds.

The Mother and the Bear | TIFF 2024

A sweet, amicable, and droll comedy that honors nosy, overprotective, and concerned mothers everywhere.

The Last Showgirl | TIFF 2024

It’s the G-string versus the PTA.

Red Rooms

A thriller that impresses with its eerie quiet, strong acting, and its focus on the darkest aspects of the internet.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Michael Keaton miraculously slips back into the title character’s self-absorbent, gothic Looney Tunes behavior like no time has passed.

Holding Back the Tide

A completely unusual experience: part meditation, part tone poem, and part documentary.

Sorry/Not Sorry

The state of Hollywood, with its dual nature of hypocrisy and, at times, virtue signaling.
