For those avid Studio Ghibli lovers, ‘The Boy and the Heron’ may be a little more mature than expected, but completely needed. Everything in this story is meticulous and deliberate, maintaining a special creativity and adventure shining through every moment.
Read MoreThe first minutes of ‘Evil Does Not Exist’ is so careful, it could almost come across as boring, if it weren’t for its beauty. The film is a great reminder of deliberate pacing and storytelling, and one of the highlights of TIFF 23 so far.
Read More‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3’ could’ve been an enjoyable sequel, but it instead re-treads to distasteful and lethargic humor, essentially putting the nails in the coffin for the future of the franchise.
Read MoreTo describe ’La Chimera’ without an excess of adjectives is no easy task. The plot is rather simplistic on paper, but an array of spirited performances, inspired direction, and dream-like cinematography makes ‘La Chimera’ a truly transportive viewing experience.
Read More‘The Nun 2 ‘ may not suit everybody, but anyone willing to give it the time of day should find something to appreciate. It’s a thoroughly satisfying horror blockbuster that bends the genre’s common clichés, though it doesn’t break them.
Read More‘Dumb Money’, as an adaptation, feels both timely, and too soon. Nonetheless, the film’s message is evergreen, and its ensemble is more than enough to carry a well-enough put together film to being a good time.
Read More‘Anatomy of a Fall’ is a mystery-turned-courtroom drama layered with dysfunction and obsession. The film features a near perfect script with Sandra Hüller’s extraordinary acting at the centre.
Read MoreDenzel Washington’s Robert McCall returns to the silver screen with his unique brand of justice in ‘The Equalizer 3’, a lacklustre and disappointing conclusion to the action franchise.
Read MoreDespite a predictable story, ‘You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah’ remains a fun coming-of-age tale filled with great performances and perfectly-timed comedy.
Read MoreDespite a committed performance from Taylor Zakhar Perez, the Hallmark-lite aesthetic of Red, White & Royal Blue ruins anything it tries to establish.

Read More‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ is a lean, studio-stunted yet passionate horror film that boasts a strong lead performance and vintage setting. It may not be the greatest monster-thriller in recent memory, but absolutely deserves the attention of horror junkies.
Read MoreBen Kingsley gives an incredible performance in Marc Turtletaub’s ‘Jules’, but can’t prevent the movie from falling short of its overall ambitions.
Read MoreDirector Neil Blomkamp has brought the beloved video game to life with ‘Gran Turismo’, a racing film that should not only please fans of the source material, but adrenaline junkies as well.

Read MoreBoth nostalgic and revitalizing, 'Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem' will take you back to the first time you met the Ninja Turtles, remind you why you love them, and lock you in for whatever comes next.
Read MoreThe film is an experience you have to commit to, and it’s a difficult ride, but there’s something of value within ‘Talk to Me’, that everyone can enjoy.
Read MoreA priest, a psychic, and an astrophysicist walk into a haunted house. While you might think that’s a setup for some cheesy joke, it’s a partial plot description for Disney’s latest film adaptation of its iconic theme park attraction, ‘The Haunted Mansion’.
Read MoreDespite some narrative stretches in its latter half, Juel Taylor’s ‘They Cloned Tyrone’ remains an enjoyable watch, thanks to the contributions of John Boyega, Teyonah Parris and Jamie Foxx.
Read MoreIt’s far from perfect, but Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ is a heartfelt, hysterical journey through imaginative spaces unlike any other. Barbie is better than your average blockbuster, and could easily be seen as the epitome of summer cinema.
