#TIFF24: “THE ASSESSMENT” REVIEW
By Nicholas Porteous
Mia (Elizabeth Olsen) and her partner Aaryan (Himesh Patel) want a child. The only problemâtheyâre living in a dystopian future, the planet is a wreck, and the government has decided any would-be parents must be assessed up front. The criteria for a pass into parenthood is unclear, and the test is designed that way, but the decision is made by assessors, who spend several days observing, testing and judging their subjects. Enter Virginia (Alicia Vikander), a ...

#TIFF24: “THE BRUTALIST” REVIEW
By Nicholas Porteous
Brady Corbetâs ginormous, 215-minute period epic The Brutalist tells the story of Laszlo Toth--played Adrien Brody, who is phenomenal in the role. Toth was a legendary architect who escaped the holocaust and literally cemented his legacy with a series of glorious buildings. One might imagine the hyperextended 3.5+ hour runtime would have to begin at the very beginning--Toth in the womb or thereabouts, but Corbet opens instead with his arrival in New York. A rebirth, ...

#TIFF24: “QUEER” REVIEW
By Amanda Gilmore
Director Luca Guadagnino returns to TIFF with this beautiful tale of how desire and love can become addictive and lead to obsession in this adaptation of William S. Burroughsâ novel of the same name.
Burroughsâ work is known to be unadaptable. So rather than do a straight adaptation, Queer is a film about the man himself. Weâre first introduced to Lee (Daniel Craig) in Mexico while searching for men to take to bed. But his repeated ...

#TIFF24: “THE SHROUDS” REVIEW
By Nicholas Porteous
Crimes of the Future, David Cronenberg's daring and mysterious last work, established âsurgery is the new sexâ. His follow-up, The Shrouds, posits something along the lines of "death is the new exposition dump". Vincent Cassel runs a cutting edge graveyard complete with 3D live feeds of all the lucky corpses. With that trademark grey coif, Cassel appears to be doubling for Cronenberg himself. Theyâre virtually indistinguishable when heâs ...

#TIFF24: “RUMOURS” REVIEW
By Nicholas Porteous
At their annual summit, the G7 world leaders are tasked with writing a provisional statement in a cozy gazebo in the middle of the woods, but everything goes haywire and they become lost in a forest full of zombies and a giant pulsating brain. Y'know, standard TIFF fare. This is Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson's Rumours--a surprisingly vague title for such a specifically wacky film.
"This isn't Summer Camp" notes the British Prime Minister (Nikki Amuka ...

#TIFF24: “HERETIC” REVIEW
By Amanda Gilmore
Hugh Grant gives a formidable performance in this cat-and-mouse chamber-thriller about our beliefs in religion.

Theyâre currently knocking on the doors of people whoâve noted an interest to learn more about their church. Thatâs when they are introduced to Mr. Reed (Grant). He invites the two in with a promise that his wife is cooking the ...
