28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE - Review
Nia DeCosta's latest film is the most sadistic and humorous entry of the franchise while bringing a different viewing experience to its predecessor. With 28 Years Later (2025) being a more thematic look at processing death, this direct follow-up intriguingly expands on the knowledge of the virus while showcasing how one's experiences define how they perceive the world, especially for different generations. These themes are brought to life by Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell,
MARTY SUPREME - Review
Josh Safdie’s latest film maintains a tense and electrifying pace throughout the film, showcasing the drastic repercussions when understanding what pursuing “greatness” really means. Especially for a character as reckless but persistent as Marty Mauser where Timothée Chalamet completely owns portraying his over-confident but vulnerable attitude while aiming to be the best ping pong player in the world. Very consistent with the Safdie's other films with an aim to provoke viewe

HAMNET - Review | TIFF 2025
Chloé Zhao's latest film contains such a commanding and emotionally intense third act where it's impossible not to be swept up by how excellently it displays the value of storytelling helping to confront tragedy. A film that feels like it's all building up to the ending that works like magic, taking its time to naturally develop its central characters certainly contributes to this. It may come across a slow-burn, but it's effective for how emotionally involved viewers feel wh
TUNER - Review | TIFF 2025
Daniel Roher's latest film is a slick and impressive jump from documentary to narrative filmmaking from the director that's best described as Baby Driver (2017) for safe-cracking. Containing a playful but rhythmic style that maintains a fast-pace throughout along with its incredibly immersive sound work and precise cutting of actions to the beat of its music. Aspects that show the extra effort that went into perfecting them while serving a purpose of immersing viewers to the
THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE - Review | TIFF 2025
Mona Fastvold's latest film captures the grand scope of an 18th century immigration epic similar to The Brutalist (2024) while serving as a transcendent musical biopic. Featuring such singular and expressive singing/dance choreography that makes the most of the human body/spacing with Daniel Blumberg's bopping and soothing score accompanying it. The rare musical where it serves a purpose from a grounded perspective along with telling the emotionally commanding journey of Ann
NO OTHER CHOICE - Review | TIFF 2025
Park Chan-wook's latest film might be his most straight-forward and mainstream film to date. However, that doesn't take away from its universal story and ultra-dynamic blocking, making it a masterwork that couldn't have come from anyone else. A darkly hilarious critique on striving in a modern capitalist society, led by the remarkable Lee Byung-hun whose morally ambiguous descent into savagery after being laid off is enthralling to witness. Every potential detail for this con
NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE - Review | TIFF 2025
Matt Johnson’s latest film works marvellously as an expansive addition to the series it’s based off along with engaging those unfamiliar with it. The type of rare comedy nowadays featuring genuinely shocking and outrageous real-life scenarios to which it's puzzling to process how they were able to get away with pulling them off. Even with the film going above and beyond for breaking conventions on delivering non-stop memorable humour, Matt and Jay’s striking chemistry provide
