Film-Forward

Saba | TIFF 2024

The emotionally charged Bangladeshi mother-daughter drama marks the strong debut of director Maksud Hossain.

The Outrun

Saoirse Ronan gives a raw and committed performance as a young alcoholic struggling in her recovery on Scotland’s remote Orkney Islands.

Daaaaaalí!

If there was ever a current director working today who should be making a film about artist Salvador Dalí, it is French writer/director Quentin Dupieux.

Joker: Folie à Deux

Just for its musical aspects, and the exquisite staging in which they are choreographed and intelligently conceived , the sequel is a bold artistic success.

The Brutalist | NYFF 2024

Simultaneously vital and sepulchral, The Brutalist is monumental—grand, bold, and ambitious.

Lee

Kate Winslet mixes idealism, will, and crankiness in a high-level star turn that helps this biopic navigate some uneven ground.

Sleep

A newlywed and father-to-be acts out while sleepwalking and does not remember his actions when he awakens—and these actions are pretty terrifying.

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.

Megalopolis

Francis Ford Coppola has one eye on the past and another on the future, blending old-school Hollywood epics with bombastic 21st-century hyperrealism.
