#TIFF26: “LA BOLA NEGRA” REVIEW
By Mr. Will Wong
LA BOLA NEGRA was made for Awards Season. The Spanish queer drama from co-directed and co-adapted by duo Los Javis spans three eras, connecting the stories of three men in a thoughtful way, inspired by an unfinished poem by Federico GarcĂa Lorca and Alberto Conejero's play La piedra oscura.

#TIFF26: “BUNKER” REVIEW
By Nicholas Porteous
A high-profile architect (Javier Bardem) is recruited to build an underground bunker for a famous billionaire, just in case of the apocalypse--all while his marriage (to Bardem's real-life wife Penélope Cruz) is sputtering towards its potential end.
Florian Zeller's Bunker isn't a conventional narrative--one beat leading directly to the next. It feels more like a series of provocative scenarios that gradually compound on top of each other to make a broad statement ...
