HERETIC is easily the best horror film I’ve seen so far this year. A thrilling and surprisingly funny exploration of religion and belief. Hugh Grant, Chloe Eastwood (in particular) and Sophie Thatcher all deliver incredible performances. A must-see for horror fans #TIFF24

Now Watching: We Live in Time #TIFF24

WE LIVE IN TIME was much more moving than I expected. Florence Pugh & Andrew Garfield both deliver genuine, heartfelt performances individually and together have dynamite chemistry. The ending had me in tears. Need a rewatch to see how I feel about the non-linear structure though

Should I delay my flight two days to try and see the sold out screening of The Brutalist and maybe not even get in or should I be smart and not do that?

Now Watching: Relay #TIFF24

Now Watching: Queer #TIFF24

This one will require time for me to come up with coherent thoughts

Now Watching: Emilia Pérez #TIFF24

EMILIA PÉREZ is one of a kind. It is hugely ambitious and tries to be many different things. Not all of it works and some the musical scenes were off-putting, but there’s much more good than bad. All of the performances are great, but Gascón and Zaldaña are on another level.

Now Watching: Flow #TIFF24

FLOW has the most beautiful animation I’ve ever seen. So striking I was in awe the entire time. A remarkable, immersive experience made even stronger by a magnificent score. The story is simple, but I was invested & scared for the animals throughout. See it in a theater! #TIFF24

QUEER is a lot of things. I was unsure how I felt about it after first seeing it last night, but the more I think about it the more I’m liking it. An exploration of queer relationships & the power of desire, especially when not equally reciprocated. Craig & Starkey are both great

Now Watching: The Piano Lesson #TIFF24 (my 2nd to last film 😢)

Now Watching: Babygirl My final film for #TIFF24

BABYGIRL approaches sexual empowerment, liberation & power dynamics in a nuanced, entertaining fashion ending with a very satisfying climax both on-screen & off-screen for audiences who are deprived of mature, thought-provoking dramas like this. Kidman & Dickinson are PHENOMENAL

And with that my first #TIFF experience has come to an end! I had an amazing time seeing some amazing films and meeting even more amazing people. Thank you to anyone who said hi! Definitely plan on coming back next year!!!

TIFF People’s Choice Award Winner Predictions: 1. Anora 2. Saturday Night 3. The Life of Chuck I’m flip flopping between Anora and The Life of Chuck as the winner. I see Saturday Night placing, but I just don’t believe it as a big awards contender

God is real

ANORA is one of the best films of the year with a star-making performance from Mikey Madison. Funny, intoxicating, exciting and heartbreaking. Here’s my review (and Oscar predictions) for it! ⬇️ youtu.be/tJGb17Y1cxs?si…

I am obsessed with BABYGIRL - featuring some career best work from Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson. Smart, sexy, funny and everything you want. Some of the most fun I’ve had reviewing a film Check out my review below ⬇️ youtu.be/uwQW5Zqshy8?si…
