#TIFF26: “ALL THAT SHE WANTS” REVIEW
By David Baldwin
Emma (Emmy-winner Annie Murphy) is in her 30s and has just broken up with her long term jerk of a boyfriend. She goes out clubbing soon after and meets college kid Luke (Cha Cha Real Smooth’s Cooper Raiff). They hit it off, sleep together, and in the morning quickly find out that Emma used to babysit Luke when he was an infant.
Sitcom-esque shenanigans, growing pains and the age gap discourse ensue for our totally perfect and destined-for-each-other couple. It is all ...

#TIFF26: “JOSEPHINE” REVIEW
By Nicholas Porteous
Josephine opens with a first-person pov shot from its protagonist--a little girl learning to run and jump with her dad (Channing Tatum). Though the camera leaves this particular setup, Josephine's perspective is locked in for the rest of the film. We're inhabiting the soul of a child in the earliest stages of development, and when she's the only third-party witness to a sexual assault, her journey becomes as painful as it is impossible to look away ...

#TIFF26: “WILD HORSE NINE” REVIEW
By David Baldwin
The year is 1973 and CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Oscar-winner Sam Rockwell) have been dispatched to Easter Island in the weeks leading up to the Chilean coup d'état.
That is the basic set-up for Oscar-winner Martin McDonagh’s latest picture (his fourth in a row at TIFF, which includes People’s Choice Award winner Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) before it devolves into his trademark brand of bleak, profane humour and deep introspection on ...

#REVIEW: “ELSINORE” REVIEW
By Nicholas Porteous
In 1989, Ian Charleson (Andrew Scott), best known for starring in Chariots of Fire, is handed the opportunity of a lifetime. Daniel Day-Lewis has developed a habit of walking offstage during The National Theatre's legendary production of Hamlet and they need a new prince of Denmark. It's his dream role. The only problem: his ever-worsening AIDS diagnosis. Leaping onto the stage for three hours every night to fight with swords and contemplate death is the ...
