#TIFF15: DAY 7 SPOTTINGS – SALMA HAYEK, DIANE KRUGER, CHARLIE KAUFMAN + ANALEIGH TIPTON

With stars Departure-bound at the Airport, we still have a few here to visit as TIFF '15 approaches an end.  We're still excited though nonetheless and hope you are too!  See who we spotted today...   Analeigh Tipton. I first wrote a blog post about this former America's Next Top Model finalist after being wowed by her in an advanced screening of Crazy.Stupid.Love.  Her sweet, delightful awkwardness is irresistible and I have loved seeing her star gradually rise these past few years. ...

#TIFF15: “YOUTH”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong Youth, the new film from Oscar-winning director Paolo Sorrentino, is a Film about nostalgia and the fear of an uncertain future. Fred (Michael Caine), a former composer who wants nothing to do with his past glory, and Mick (Harvey Keitel), a director trying desperately to put together his next picture, are vacationing together at a Swiss resort. They are in the twilight of their lives, people watching at the hotel and dealing with the fallout of ... Read more

#TIFF15: “THE GREEN ROOM”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong Much like director Jeremy Saulnier’s previous film Blue Ruin, Green Room is the very definition of a slow-burn thriller. A punk rock band perform at a small venue run by Neo-Nazis, and witness an act of violence. Now they are trapped and their chances of survival are fleeting. It feels excruciating at first with its lengthy set-up, but once Green Room gets moving, it becomes downright relentless. The Film is a nightmare wrapped inside another ... Read more

#TIFF15: 2015 DIRECTOR’S GUILD OF CANADA “THE CANADA PARTY”

By George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Dancing to the infectious beats laid down by guest DJ, Oscar-nominated, uber talented director Jean-Marc Vallée (at TIFF '15 with DEMOLITION), the homegrown crowd at the DIRECTORS GUILD OF CANADA party themed The Canada Party feasted on specialty donuts from Tim Hortons (my favourite was the beer glazed Bob & Doug and the Don Cherry and Chocolate donut was pretty snazzy looking) and were all genuinely happy to be there to mingle with friends and ...

#TIFF15: “HYENA ROAD”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong Writer/Director Paul Gross went great lengths to make his World War I Film Passchendaele stack up next to its American counterparts. He takes what he learned and extends it to the modern and significantly more intense Hyena Road – chronicling a group of soldiers trying to construct a highway link in Afghanistan. The Film dazzles with fierce and near breathless action scenes, punctuated by surprisingly extreme violence. But the Film gets bogged down ... Read more

#TIFF15: “LOLO”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong Julie Deply consistently has been force on-screen and behind the scenes, and on her newest outing Lolo, she proves once again magnificence. The Movie focuses on the dynamic of a struggling workaholic and her attention-seeking, manipulative son. With some truly hysterical and genuinely affecting moments as well, Lolo certainly will lift you up. Violette (Julie Delpy) is on a spa retreat with her friend, Ariane (Karen Viard) who convinces her to ... Read more

#TIFF15: “FREEHELD”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Based on a true story, FREEHELD tells the story of New Jersey police officer Laurel Hester’s legal battles to ensure that her pension is left to her registered domestic partner, Stacie Andree, when she is diagnosed with stage four terminal cancer. Before meeting Stacie (Ellen Page in her best screen performance since Juno), Laurel (the always astonishing Julianne Moore) is a tough-as-nails cop busting drug dealers, all the while hiding the fact that ...
