Read MoreReview: Sleep – “a cinematic talent to watch out for.”

Life is good for Hyun-su and Soo-jin as they await the arrival of their first-born child but things take a dramatic turn as the behaviour of Hyun-su becomes erratic once he falls asleep; he goes from sitting on the edge of the bed declaring that they are not alone to severely scratching his face to becoming a...

Read MoreReview – Joker: Folie À Deux – “struggles to say something relevant.”
Back in 2019, the first Joker movie earned Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the bullied and broken Arthur Fleck before transforming into the Joker. The film was self-contained, but following its massive success a sequel was agreed and here we are. Largely unnecessary and 30 minutes too long, there are some things that Joker: Folie À Deux excels in exploring but the movie feels...

Read MoreReview: I Saw The TV Glow – “like an episode of Stranger Things if filmed by David Lynch.”
Directed by Jane Schoenbrun Starring Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ian Foreman, Fred Durst, Amber Benson, Helena Howard Owen (played by Ian Foreman as a boy, and Justice Smith when older) is an awkward schoolboy in small-town America in the 1990s – he seems to have no friends, he doesn’t even make eye contact with others (it may be that he has an undiagnosed condition), and home-life...

Read MoreTIFF 2024 Review: Sweet Angel Baby – “the overriding message is still triumphant.”
When you’re a little bit ‘different’ from the rest, you might be apt to hide parts of yourself. This is even more true if you live in a small town where anonymity doesn’t exist. Such is the case for Eliza (Michaela Kurimsky) who has lived all her life in the small coastal town of Rawlin’s Cove. It’s a close-knit place, the kind where she delivers wood to her elderly neighbour and can walk to her...

Read MoreReview: The Hitcher – Limited Edition Dual 4K UHD/Blu-ray – “Worth the wait.”
This has been a long time coming, but Second Sight Films has brought us a brand-new restored 4K version of 1986’s The Hitcher from the original camera negative supervised and approved by director Robert Harmon, set for release on 30 September 2024.

Read MoreTIFF 2024 Review: Addition – “What starts out as a more typical rom-com does become more serious in the second half”
To Grace Lisa Vandenburg (Teresa Palmer), everything is seen in numbers. There are nineteen letters in her name, for instance. The number of poppy seeds on the cake she orders every day from her local coffee shop dictates the number of bites she must take. At the grocery store, she wants a specific number of items. Just like her stable routine, numbers just make sense to Grace. They are a constant...
