'Sidney' Review: A Touching Farewell to a Hero of Hollywood [TIFF 2022]

Sidney, produced by Oprah Winfrey, is clearly meant as a loving tribute to Poitier. Some might accuse this project of wearing rose-coloured glasses, but Winfrey probably didn’t make this film for people who might think that way as her love and admiration for Poitier is impossible to doubt.

'Triangle of Sadness' Review: A Reminder to Eat the Rich and Laugh While You Do It [TIFF 2022]

Sometimes Triangle of Sadness can be messy, but that seems to almost be the point. It’s a film that shows we’re all human beings - competitive, selfish, and gross, but more entertainingly, it is director Ruben Östlund at his craziest, his most explicit, his most in-your-face, and audiences are going to love it.

'Three Thousand Years of Longing' Review: Your Wish is George Miller's Command

Occasionally, it needs to be restated that Happy Feet, Babe, Lorenzo’s Oil, and the Mad Max series were all directed by the same man. Director George Miller’s resume is astonishing, but while we praise his vision and command of imagery as a director, we cannot ignore he is a truly gifted storyteller. He proves it again with Three Thousand Years of Longing.

'Orphan: First Kill' Review: Welcome Home, Esther

Whether it’s a packed theatre or an overly-giggly sleepover, Orphan: First Kill is far too much fun to experience alone, and seems like a waste to watch at home, as the movie is filled with moments that beg to be seen with a rowdy group.

'Elvis' Review: Baz Luhrmann's Dazzling, Bombastic Style is Fit for a King

Overall, ELVIS is more of a look into his life and career from a certain perspective than the traditional biopic, but it works so seamlessly to combine all the things that one could possibly want from a picture about the King. Baz Luhrmann’s glitzy, glamorous, and colorful style makes for an exciting, emotional, and visually spectacular film.

‘The Black Phone’ Review: A Promising Premise is Wasted Due to Bloated Performances and Pace

The Black Phone leaves a lot to be desired and it is good to see director Scott Derrickson back in his horror element, trying to craft something that haunt us long after we have left the theatre. But with a muddled script and uneven performances, this is a middle of the road horror film that could’ve been so much more but ends up being fine in the most disappointing fashion.
