EPISODES

FF+ The Creator
Visually stunning with plenty of explosive action and an intriguing premise centered on humans seeking revenge for an A.I. nuclear attack, but unfortunately lacking in exploration of its bigger ideas, largely a reskin of STAR WARS, and only somewhat effective emotionally. Could have been, and should have been, so much more.

FF+ NYAD/The King Tide (TIFF Reviews)
I'm doing my best to continue finding a connection for each pair of reviews. This time that link is the water. One is the excellent, inspirational and rousing dramatized story of real life super athlete Diana Nyad, who swam from Cuba to Florida in her 60s, and the other is a fantasy tale about a mysterious child with healing powers who washes up on the shore of a secluded island community and changes their way of life for better and worse.

Episode 383: Invincible
The real life story of Philadelphia everyman Vince Papale and his unlikely journey to professional football player is a bit sanitized by the Disney production, but still covers the great success in an enjoyable manner that captures the heart of what he accomplished and what it meant to those who cheered him on.

FF+ Hit Man/Knox Goes Away (TIFF Reviews)
Whether you like your assassins fake, sexy, and a bit silly or old, grizzled, and seeking redemption, this episode is for you. Glen Powell oozes movie star charisma in Richard Linklater's untraditional rom-com and Michael Keaton directs himself to sleep in a dramatic story of dementia.

FF+ The Holdovers/The Boy and the Heron (TIFF Reviews)
Familiar stories can still be emotionally effective and entertaining, as we see in new work from both Alexander Payne and Hayao Miyazaki. THE HOLDOVERS feels like a simple dramedy that we don't often see, but is charming and touching in equal measure. In Miyazaki's latest fantastical adventure, a boy travels to a magical world and copes with the loss of his mother, and the director infuses the work with themes of legacy and memory that feel extremely personal.

FF+ No One Will Save You
Dever excels in this mostly solo acted and dialogueless film about a loner in a small town who fights against her own anxiety while trying to fend off an alien invasion and protect her home. Strong creepy effects and superb sound design make for taut experience.

FF+ How to Have Sex/Daddio (TIFF Reviews)
This episode's theme is films about women written and directed by women. HOW TO HAVE SEX follows a trio of teenage girls on a vacation partying in Greece, and one of their goals is to get laid. It's a high energy coming-of-age story that oozes authenticity and ends up being powerfully challenging. DADDIO is a two-hander about the conversations a woman and her New York cab driver have on her way home from the airport, leading to personal reflection and an unexpected meaningful new relationship.

FF+ Woman of the Hour/Pain Hustlers (TIFF Reviews)
The Netflix episode! These weren't the only films at TIFF that will be released on the streaming giant's platform, but they are two of the highest profile ones. WOMAN OF THE HOUR is beloved actress Anna Kendrick's directorial debut and she shows incredible command behind the camera in adapting this true crime serial killer story. PAIN HUSTLERS is David Yates (of Wizarding World fame) tackling the opioid crisis in America by way of energetically examining the unethical practices of a pharmaceutical company that contributed to it becoming a thing.

FF+ Anatomy of a Fall/The Zone of Interest (TIFF Reviews)
Two surefire contenders for the 2024 Best International Feature Film Oscar, ANATOMY OF A FALL is a high-quality courtroom drama featuring an emotionally complex leading performance and some impressive shifting perspective camerawork during its trial scenes, while THE ZONE OF INTEREST provides a glimpse into the Holocaust from the viewpoint of a German military family living an idyllic lifestyle next door to the horrific Auschwitz concentration camp.

FF+ Copa 71/Dumb Money (TIFF Reviews)
COPA 71 is a documentary that covers the rocky origin of women's soccer and history of an incredible international tournament buried by those who discriminated against women in the sport, as told by players who participated in the event themselves. And DUMB MONEY dramatizes the internet-driven GameStop short squeeze event of 2021 where a YouTuber called Roaring Kitty and Reddit investment group collectively took down numerous hedge funds who had bet that the company would fail. Two different styles of film but both informational and highly entertaining ones to kick off my TIFF '23 podcast/video coverage.

Episode 382: Past Lives
Celine Song's directorial debut is a beautiful story of friendship and contemplation about the choices we make in life. It is powerfully relatable, thoughtful, and mature in handling a unique relationship dynamic, and the film shows us that it's okay to be sad about the road not taken without having regrets.

FF+ The Good Mother
A journalist mother still grieving over the loss of her husband endures the death of a drug-addicted son and embarks on an investigation alongside his pregnant girlfriend to find the truth behind his murder. Stuck somewhere in-between its taut, dark and gritty thriller framework and its more compelling but infrequent character-driven moments, the parts of this predictable murder mystery are greater than their sum.

Episode 381: The Eight Mountains
This adaptation of Paolo Cognetti's novel about a lifetime-spanning friendship set in the northwest Italian alps is even better than its excellent source material. Spending time with Pietro and Bruno is as poignant as it is resonant, their lives and the metaphors of this beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking story often inspirational. With a backdrop of spectacular mountains and perfectly matching soundtrack, it's easy to get swept away by the ebb and flow of this memorable relationship. Also beards. The film has tremendous beards, too.

FF+ Ranking the Films of Hayao Miyazaki Part 1: 1979-1995
In the leadup to Hayao Miyazaki's new final film, THE BOY AND THE HERON, making its North American premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, I've decided to re-watch all of the director's filmography (directed and written by only, excluding short films and producer credits). In addition to just enjoying the delightful journey through 14 incredible films, I'm going to rank them for you here and talk through why each ones means something to me. I hope that you enjoy and maybe even are inspired to watch or re-watch some of the legendary animator's incredible work.

FF+ The Dive
Two sisters go diving at a remote location. An unexpected landslide sends rocks into the water and pins one of them deep in an underwater cave. Will one sister be able to save the other? It's a solid single location survival thriller premise, but one that is unfortunately handled in a disappointingly bland way.

FF+ Strays
It may be a very adult and vulgar journey as three strays adopt Reggie and help him find his way home to seek revenge on his abusive owner, but it's a non-stop hilarious one that dog lovers will have a great time taking. For me, it's also peak Boston Terrier cinema, which cements it as one of my favorite films of the year.

FF+ Blue Beetle
The Blue Beetle is likely an unfamiliar comic book character to many, so it's a shame that Jaime Reyes' origin story didn't dive more into the decades of mythology that exist. The film's biggest strength lies in its depiction of Latino culture and its family dynamics, but it suffers from horribly uninteresting antagonists and a lack of creativity. It's entertaining enough to give a positive review, just don't expect this to stick with you very long.

FF+ The Last Voyage of the Demeter
Sailing for weeks on a ship with a hungry vampire sounds like a bad idea and turns out exactly how you'd expect it to in this lean telling of "The Captain's Log" chapter of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. The constant atmosphere of dread and exquisite depiction of a late 1800s ship at sea are highlights in a very strong story about trying to survive in a confined space while being hunted by an unknown evil. Find out more about why I highly recommend this one in the review.

FF+ Gran Turismo
Almost every competitive gamer has at one point in their lives wondered what it would be like to do the sport or activity they dominate digitally in real life. For Jann Mardenborough that became a reality when the GT Academy and Nissan provided him an opportunity to go from sim racer to behind the wheel of an actual car. This incredible real life story is the backbone for PlayStation Studios' adaptation of the beloved long-time racing franchise Gran Turismo, and I'm here to tell you that it makes for one heck of a crowd-pleasing good time at the theater, regardless of whether you're familiar with the video game, a racing fan, or none of the above.
