‘My Policeman’ Review: Unless You’re a Styles Fan, This Won’t Be Your Policeman [TIFF 2022]

My Policeman, despite what it may hint at, fails to deliver a romance that meets its own storytelling ambition. It tragically leans on a misguided narrative instead of fleshing out the central love story the audience is meant to celebrate, and even the popularity of Harry Styles will not enough to draw in an audience.

‘Le Coyote’ Review: No Sophomore Slump for Director Katherine Jerkovic [TIFF 2022]

Le Coyote does not make any large pronouncements on life, and the high stakes revolve only around a single family’s attempt to heal itself. It is a slice of life which countless people endure on a daily basis, and the film’s strengths come from its authenticity and unruffled style, making it one of the most poignant and emotionally genuine films of the year.

'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.

‘The Woman King’ Review: A Knockout of Epic Proportions [TIFF 2022]

Anchored by its fantastic performances, razor-sharp direction, and exhilarating spectacle, The Woman King is a thoroughly exciting epic which packs several punches, and lands its blows, and is worthy of the biggest screen, and crowd, possible.

'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. While it still may be months away from the autumn season, this is a great film to snuggle up at home and put on Paramount+.
