#TIFF20: THE DRIVE-IN EXPERIENCE
By Mr. Will Wong
As you know, we've been attending TIFF for several years now and we in all honesty were kinda excited for the first time to experience it in Drive-In format. This screening option is reserved more for the higher-profile titles at the Festival, with films divided between RBC Lakeside Drive-In and OLG Play Stage (Ontario Place Boulevard x Remembrance Drive) , plus VISA Skyline Drive-In (20 Polson Street).
We had the joy of seeing a Film at RBC Lakeside Drive-In and it ...

By Mr. Will Wong
All eyes are on Chloé Zhao who debuted at TIFF '17 with The Rider, topping several best-of lists that year. While her work on Marvel's The Eternals is on its way to us, sophomore effort NOMADLAND comes with high hopes and she does not disappoint.

#TIFF20: “SPRING BLOSSOM”
By George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
Despite her luminous smile, it becomes quickly apparent that 16-year-old Suzanne (Suzanne Lindon) is bored. She is clearly not interested in the nonsensical prattle of her friends and classmates and escapes being in their company as often as possible. Even when she decides to go to a classmate’s house party, much to the surprise of her parents and older sister, she doesn’t quite fit in – she doesn’t like beer and when asked to rate all the boys ...

#TIFF20: “SING ME A LULLABY”
By Mr. Will Wong
Premiering as part of TIFF's SHORT CUTS Programme 05, Tiffany Hsiung written and directed SING ME A LULLABY has been 15 years in-the-making.

#TIFF20: “FALLING”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
Viggo Mortensen’s Toronto-made directorial debut follows a turbulent relationship between father and son. With Falling, Mortensen examines the strong bond between relatives even after they’ve become severed. The focus here is on the relationship between John (Mortensen) and his ill yet overtly profane father Willis (Lance Henriksen).
Early, the conflict starts with ...

#TIFF20: “THE FATHER”
Review by Mr. Will Wong
While many Films before have tackled the issue of Dementia and father-daughter relations, we have yet to see it treated as delicately and with as much sympathy as this. Florian Zeller co-written and directed THE FATHER left us mesmerized and devastated at once.
Anne (Olivia Colman) is ready to move on with her life and desires to move to Paris. Her father Anthony (Anthony Hopkins) has been able to take care of himself for quite some time but now is battling ...
