#TIFF19: “THE MONEYCHANGER”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
Humberto Brause (Daniel Hendler) throws himself into the buying and selling of currency in 1970s Uruguay and accepts the assignment of laundering the largest amount of money he has ever seen.
Director Federico Veiroj has created a snapshot into a particular time in history and infused it with an entertaining theme of greed. The film is a thriller involving a character who will trample over anyone and anything to get what he wants. Yet, we love Humberto because of the deadpan humour he’s played with by the charismatic Hendler.
The Moneychanger screens at TIFF on Sun, Sep 8th at TIFF Bell Lightbox at 9 PM, Mon, Sep 9th at Scotiabank Theatre at 7 PM, and Sun, Sep 15th at 9:30 AM.

As if our TIFF ’19 couldn’t be any more explosive, it just did! A bit saddened we missed Leonardo DiCaprio at the Premiere of ICE ON FIRE amidst all the bustle, but we can’t complain!
Ladies and gentlemen, I died when I met Leonardo Dicaprio today! I had my #OnceUponATimeInHollywood Rick Dalton shirt on and he loved it (there he is checking it out in the pic) #Tiff19 pic.twitter.com/DHu7zYmN8R

#TIFF19: “PELICAN BLOOD”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
Wiebke’s (Nina Hoss) recently adopted second daughter changes drastically from wholesome to threatening, placing the lives of Wiebke and her other daughter in danger.
This Film is an examination of the lengths a mother will go for her children. Hoss turns in an unforgettable performance of the questionable Wiebke that is equally heartbreaking and compelling. Pelican Blood starts out as a Psychological Drama about a mother pushed to every possible limit, but the genre shifts along the way to a result that will have audiences shocked.
Pelican Blood screens at TIFF on Sun, Sep 8 at Scotiabank Theatre at 9:15 PM, Mon, Sep 9 at Scotiabank Theatre at 1:15 PM, and Sat, Sep 14 at Scotiabank Theatre at 9:45 PM.
#TIFF19: “SEBERG”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
This Biopic follows Jean Seberg (Kristen Stewart) in a particular time in her life: in the late 60s and early 70s as she has become a target of the FBI’s due to her support and contributions to the Black Panther Movement.
Usually Biopics tell a story of the entire life of their subjects, however, this screenplay focuses on a short moment and succeeds in displaying who she was. Within this is a story of a woman who stood up and aligned herself with what she knew was right: equality. Stewart is the heart of the Film and completely merges into Seberg. The audience sees Seberg as a fiery presence in the beginning, but slowly she unhinges due to the horrible things the FBI was targeting her with. And Stewart is there unraveling Jean’s inner psyche with empathetic vulnerability.
Seberg screens at TIFF on Sat, Sep 7 at Ryerson Theatre at 6 PM, Mon, Sep 9 at 11:45 PM, and Sat, Sep 14 at TIFF Bell Lightbox at 6:15 PM.
#TIFF19: “BLACKBIRD”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
Terminally-ill matriarch Lily (Susan Sarandon) invites her family and close friend to her home for one final gathering.
Blackbird has a lot of emotional impact and a captivating story at its core about assisted-suicide. In using multiple characters, Screenwriter Christian Torpe is able to give a well-balanced view on this often tough topic. Those characters are brought beautifully to the screen by the impeccable Sarandon, along with scene-stealing and at times comedic Kate Winslet, and the captivating Mia Wasikowska.
Blackbird screens at TIFF on Fri, Sep 6 at Roy Thompson Hall at 9:30 PM, Sat, Sep 7 at Roy Thompson Hall at 12 PM, and Fri, Sep 13 at Princess of Wales at 3 PM.
#TIFF19: “HUSTLERS”
Review by Mr. Will Wong
Make no mistake, HUSTLERS isn’t just ‘that stripper movie’. Lorene Scafaria (Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Ricki and the Flash) is back with this enthralling look at a group of woman, whom after thriving in the business relying much on Wall Street clientele, see it all fall apart after financial crisis ensues in the late 2000s. Refusing to fall in defeat, the women led by Ramona (Jennifer Lopez), band together in a carefully-executed plan, stealing from unassuming wealthy men silenced by the same of their habits being uncovered.
Hustlers is told from the perspective of Destiny (Constance Wu), as it cuts between past and present where she is being interviewed by Elizabeth (Julia Stiles), a journalist reporting on the scandal. Scafaria hones-in on the heart of the story, a story of two women brought together by their determination to care for their families and drive to give themselves a better life, even if it means doing illegal things.
Lopez has never been better. Wu is fantastic as our eyes into this irresistible, dark world which is both scary and fun at once.
HUSTLERS screens at TIFF Sat, Sep 07, Roy Thomson Hall at 9:30pm and Sun, Sep 08, Ryerson Theatre at 6:00pm.
#TIFF19: “THE LIGHTHOUSE”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
Robert Eggers‘ second Feature takes place on a remote New England island where two isolated lighthouse keepers (Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson) attempt to keep their sanity.
Everything about The Lighthouse is sublime.
It merges multiple genres into one of the most enthralling and unforgettable filmgoing experiences of the year. The direction by Robert Eggers is impeccable from the spellbinding opening shot until the horrifying finale. These consistently engrossing scenes are aided by the beautiful black-and-white Cinematography by Jarin Blaschke and the all-consuming sound by Damian Volpe. The Screenplay written by Eggers and Max Eggers infuses themes of isolation and power within their purposeful and story-advancing 19th-century dialogue. Then there are the outstanding career-best performances from Robbert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe. Both performances give everlasting haunting effects long after the credits roll.
The Lighthouse screens at TIFF on Sat, Sep 7 at Ryerson Theatre at 9 PM and Sun, Sep 8 at Scotiabank Theatre at 7:45 PM.

#TIFF19: “SWEETNESS IN THE BELLY”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
When Lily (Dakota Fanning) arrives in London, England as a refugee she begins searching for the man she loves with the hope he ended up there too.
This Story centers on one woman trying to find the man she loves in a foreign city interweaves many prominent issues happening in our world today. Although the Film takes place in the 1970s, it touches on how the poor treatment of refugees in camps, race relations, and more. It also showcases tender performances from Fanning and Wunmi Mosaku who plays a fellow refugee expecting her second child.
Sweetness In The Belly screens at TIFF on Sat, Sep 7 at Scotiabank Theatre at 6 PM and Mon, Sep 9 at Scotiabank Theatre at 4:15 PM.
#TIFF19: “PROXIMA”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
Sarah (Eva Green) is an astronaut and mother who has dreamed of going to space her entire life. When the opportunity finally comes what will she have to sacrifice to make her dream a reality?
Proxima is a movie that talks about the sacrifices we make, specifically women, to have the delicate balance of family and dreams. What Director-Writer Alice Winocour does is never judge Sarah and her decisions. She uses the camera as a fly-on-the-wall allowing the audience to project their judgments upon her themselves. The writing is rich and Green is outstanding in the role. She also has great chemistry with her onscreen daughter which leads to the audience’s investment into their relationship.
Proxima screens at TIFF on Sat, Sep 7 at Winter Garden Theatre at 6:15 PM, Sun, Sep 8 at Scotiabank Theatre at 1:45 PM and Fri, Sep 13 at TIFF Bell Lightbox at 1:15 PM.
