Finishing off our coverage of the 2012 Toronto Film Festival we have a number of short reviews from the rest of the films we saw at the festival. You can find our complete coverage of the festival right here. Call Girl (3.5/5) Call Girl is based on the true story of a scandal in the [...]
The American gangster is an almost a Terminator-like figure in cinema and TV: he just keeps coming and coming, and seemingly will not stop. Audience fascination with these amoral figures – who live outside the law but within a rigid parallel culture with its own codes and rules of engagement – has been endlessly analysed [...]
Chilean director Nicolás López makes his English language debut with horror/thriller, Aftershock, starring the legendary Eli Roth. The film opens on Roth, an American, travelling through Chile with his two friends, Ariel (Ariel Levy) and Pollo (Nicolás Martínez); his local friends are taking him, the Gringo, around the country whilst he’s staying with them. Starting [...]
Sightseers is a deliciously nasty, very funny black comedy about a Midlands couple who embark on a caravan holiday visiting mundane British tourist attractions which takes a detour into murder and doesn’t turn back. Tina lives with her mother Carol, a bitter harridan who blames Tina for the accidental death of their beloved dog and [...]
Martin McDonagh’s follow-up to In Bruges is an undemanding but very entertaining shaggy dog black comedy that follows Colin Farrell’s alcoholic screenwriter’s attempts to write the titular screenplay. His difficulties in doing so are exacerbated by his messy personal life and his involvement with the peculiar Billy (Sam Rockwell) and the dognapping ring that he’s [...]
Revolving around the events that saw 30 Seconds to Mars sued by their own record label back in 2008 for $30m., Artifact is one of the greatest music documentaries ever made, and an important documentary for our times. The music industry has been struggling for the best part of a decade with technology developing at [...]
The past week and a half have been an absolutely fantastic ride at the Toronto International Film Festival, and as the final day nears its end, the winners of this year’s BlackBerry People’s Choice Awards have been announced. Taking the lead with the People’s Choice Award is David O. Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook, with a [...]
Acclaimed Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona makes his English-language debut with The Impossible, by far one of the most harrowing films you will ever see. Based on the true story of a family caught in the events of the Indian Ocean tsunami that struck the coast of Thailand (trailer here), Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor [...]
Harmony Korine has been polarising audiences from the time they were first introduced to his dark vision of American teenagers in his script for director Larry Clark’s acclaimed Kids (1995) . His latest offering Spring Breakers, a satirical mash-up of a ‘kids gone wild on spring break’ comedy and an urban gangsta crime drama, will [...]
If you’ve missed our review of the brand new epic movie Cloud Atlas, you need to click here to have a little look (spoiler alert is that we liked it rather a lot) and to coincide with the movie screening in Toronto, we’ve got this first theatrical poster for the movie which was snapped by [...]
Marking the directorial debut of Oscar-nominated Stuart Blumberg (The Kids Are All Right), Thanks For Sharing is one of the funniest films of the year. It’s rare for a dramatic comedy to strike the balance so well between drama and comedy, and Blumberg walks the fine perfectly here, making one of the best debuts behind [...]
Noah Baumbach’s latest feature, Frances Ha, was a pleasant surprise when the TIFF line-up was first announced. No one had known he was making it, nor that he was re-teaming with Greta Gerwig once more, following Greenberg, with the pair writing the script together. The writer-director’s name is one of the most well-known in the [...]
Zac Efron has spent the last few years increasingly diversifying his career, and has done an excellent job of recasting the image that he could quite happily have settled for and been successful at. Instead, he started shifting gears in 17 Again, took on a drama like Charlie St. Cloud, has a great little role [...]
While it’s sure to alienate some for its refusal to adhere to their expectations of narrative and characterisation, The Master is a timely depiction of the susceptibility of the rootless and disaffected to the imprecations of cult leaders cloaked in the rhetoric of pseudo-science. Much has been made of the resemblance of The Master’s ‘Cause’ [...]
With Josh Boone having just this weekend unveiled his first feature film, Writers, at the Toronto International Film Festival, The Playlist have published two new images from the project. Writers stars Greg Kinnear as a successful author whose family — and casual hook-up Kristen Bell — is plagued by unresolved feelings towards his ex-wife, played by Jennifer [...]
Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing brings to the big screen one of the finest and most original adaptations of the bard’s work; a smart, sexy, and funny take on the classic play. Shot at his own home in just twelve days, the film features a cadre of Whedon’s frequent collaborators, a cast made in heaven [...]
There is no denying that Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer, and Andy Wachowski have achieved something memorable. They have adapted the unadaptable, David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas, and done what no one thought possible. Their ingenuity lies first and foremost in the choice of casting their impressive ensemble in multiple roles. We see them in the past, [...]
Syd March is a ghostly looking salesman for an agency that sells biological material (viruses) obtained from celebrities. Syd sells these viruses to well heeled customers who crave a perverse physical connection with their idols: illness contracted from the celebrities they adore. The offices of Sid’s employer look like a cross between a high gloss media agency and a funeral home, with [...]
Argo is based on the true story of the 1980 rescue of six U.S. Embassy staff in Tehran who escaped capture by a militant mob by hiding in the Canadian Ambassor’s residence until a bizarre CIA plot managed to get them safely out of Iran. Ben Affleck’s third feature as director is a stylistically subdued homage to the ’70s era studio [...]
It was announced today that Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children will make its big screen debut in Toronto as the Festival’s gala premiere on the 9th of September, the film will then be releaseed in Canada and the US on the 26th of October. The adaptation of Rushdie’s 1980 novel is directed by Deepa Metha, perhaps [...]
