Synopsis:

From New Line Cinema comes “Don’t Worry Darling,” directed by Olivia Wilde (“Booksmart”) and starring Florence Pugh (Oscar-nominated for “Little Women”), Harry Styles (“Dunkirk”), Wilde (upcoming “Babylon”), Gemma Chan (“Crazy Rich Asians”), KiKi Layne (“The Old Guard”) and Chris Pine (“All the Old Knives”).

Alice (Pugh) and Jack (Styles) are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. The 1950’s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Pine)—equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach—anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit desert utopia.

While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives—including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley (Chan)—get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is discretion and unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause.

But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. Just how much is Alice willing to lose to expose what’s really going on in this paradise?

An audacious, twisted and visually stunning psychological thriller, “Don’t Worry Darling” is a powerhouse feature from director Olivia Wilde that boasts intoxicating performances from Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, surrounded by the impressive and pitch-perfect cast.

The film also stars Nick Kroll (“How It Ends”), Sydney Chandler (“Pistol”), Kate Berlant (“Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood”), Asif Ali (“WandaVision”), Douglas Smith (“Big Little Lies”), Timothy Simons (“Veep”) and Ari’el Stachel (upcoming “Respect the Jux”).

Wilde directs from a screenplay penned by her “Booksmart” writer Katie Silberman, based on a story by Carey Van Dyke & Shane Van Dyke (“Chernobyl Diaries”) and Silberman. The film is produced by Wilde, Silberman, Miri Yoon and Roy Lee, with Richard Brener, Celia Khong, Alex G. Scott, Catherine Hardwicke, Carey Van Dyke and Shane Van Dyke executive producing.

A New Line Cinema presentation, “Don’t Worry Darling” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in theatres in North America on September 23, 2022 and internationally beginning 21 September 2022.

By Amanda Gilmore

El agua follows mature 17-year-old Ana (Luna Pamies) who lives with her mother (Bárbara Lennie) and grandmother (Nieve De Medina) in a small Spanish town near the Segura River. The town legend is that when the river floods every few decades it takes a woman who has recently fallen in love with it. During this hot summer, a storm is on the horizon warning of a flood. And when Ana falls in love, she begins feeling the water within her.

Director Elena López Riera shoots with realism while telling a story weaved in the surreal. The true legend López Riera uses in her narrative brings in the realist aspect. There are times when people are interviewed, Documentary style, and they speak of their experiences with the water. This feeds into the realist style she’s going for. However, these stories aid in making the surrealist aspects of the story feel natural to the narrative.

At the Film’s core is a story about gender and power. What first feels like a story of young summer love turns into a powerful coming-of-age story about a woman claiming her power. We are strapped into Ana’s summer of discovery, whether she be working at her mother’s bar or spending time with her friends and romantic interest. First-time Actor Pamies turns in a performance of a seasoned actor. Making her one to watch.

El agua screens as follows at TIFF ’22:

Thu, Sep 8 IN-PERSON at Scotiabank Theatre at 6:30 pm

Sat, Sep 10 IN-PERSON at Scotiabank Theatre at 6:35 pm

A new Traser has arrived for TIFF ’22 selection, GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY – right in time for the Festival!

Synopsis:

According to Johnson, Blanc’s penchant for bombast is partly to thank for the film’s title, which pays homage to the 1968 Beatles song of the same name. “I’m always fishing for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an overwrought metaphor that he can beat to death,” he says. “This is all in plain sight from the very start. So, the idea of glass came to me, something that’s clear. I’ll be very honest. I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word ‘glass.’ There’s got to be some good glass songs. I was like, “Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle? Is it a glass man?” The first thing that came up, because I’m a huge Beatles fan, is ‘Glass Onion.'”

GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY arrives December 23, 2022.
