A smart movie. About real emotions. Wonderful performances. Not for those that want the same old tired comic book format. This movie is an original.
Visa did a fabulous hosting experience - complimentary drinks and hot hors d'oeuvres at the lounge pre-show, plus loot bags and the movie was really fun. Great homage to Agatha Christie
Three Summers is a Brazilian film set during a period where corruption was being actively pursued. It looks at the lives of those left behind after the wealthy have fled with the spoils. As each of the household staff grapple with their rapid change of circumstances, the lead housekeeper, Mada, takes over with one scheme after the next to let them survive. This is a serious movie with a strong "can-do" premise, done with a comedic touch. The cast is superb and their performances are delightful. Since I don't speak Portugese I watched the movie with English subtitles. The subtitles were satisfactory, but I felt some of the richness of the dialogue was lost in translation. The Director introduced the movie at its primier at the Toronto International Film Festival and provided added information. I gained more insights later during her discussion. Overall a great movie worth seeing, but read a synopsis first. I hope Three Summers is released in US. It is an enjoyable movie with an important message for all of us.
Joe Cinque (pronounced Chin-kway) is a shattering account, based on a true story, of a seriously disturbed and delusional young woman's (Anu Singh) emotional descent. In the midst of her free-fall, she drags her very decent and somewhat naive boyfriend Joe down to the depths of her despair. Most disturbing is the complicity, apathy and inaction of their peers who are aware that something horrific is about to go down. The performances are outstanding all around, the growing tension thick and finale . . . well, I won't give it away. Although this is not an uplifting film, it is one very much worth seeing.
Every relationship that has faced discrimination can relate. It was such a touching story. We sometimes forget what people had to undergo in order to prevail.
Superb acting, great dialogue, picture and execution! The inclusion and absence of music was spot on. Great comedic relief with the historical subject matter; One of the best films I have seen.
Excellent venue to view and excellent film. Venue is large and easy to find seats if you are early.
Got tickets to the world premiere at TIFF!!! Everyone was there: Christian Bale, Charlotte Le Bon, Oscar Isaac, System of a Down's Serj Tankian, and Chris Cornell (the latter two wrote songs for the film). Outstanding performances by Oscar Isaac (Michael) who is in love with the amazingly beautiful Charlotte Le Bon (Ana) who is in a relationship with my man Christian Bale (Chris), a reporter investigating the 1915 genocide during which Turkish Ottoman Empire murdered over a million Armenian kids and their families. A very moving film. It got insane standing ovations from a massive crowd (see video). "Our revenge will be to survive" Ana promises in the film. Promised delivered.
This is one you're going to want to see with friends, then family, then take the whole school! It's about speaking the truth. Very empowering & entertaining! Bravura performances from the entire cast.
This animated film was created by Ann Marie Fleming, Sandra Oh, and a team of amazingly talented artists. The story follows the journey of a Chinese-Persian girl from Vancouver whose poetry brings her to a festival in Iran. This is a multicultural story about life, love, and self-discovery, told through the lens of a deeply personal and humanized Iranian history. It is like nothing you've ever seen. For anyone who cares to experience a beautiful multicultural work of art, this movie is a must see.
This movie was incredible. Nick Cannons display of the Jamiacian culture was spot on when it comes to dancehall in Jamaica. This movie was filled with flavour and reality. A must see!!
I am so surprised to see this movie billed as a Rom-Com. I was captured by the setting; it's hard to think comedy when bombs are blasting and walls are falling during the Blitz in London UK. The 'Their Finest' I saw was about world politics, film industry politics, movie making at the time, women's roles in society... with funny Bill Nighy egocentrically bumbling his way through the film. Great film for sure.
The cast and director kicked off the evening premier, and I was glued to my seat. So moving and emotional. Can't wait to see it again when it comes out!!
Lady Macbeth is so bizarre and disturbing, and covered misogyny, racism, classism, sexism, and I am sure more ! The fact that I paid to sit through the two hours is beyond offensive. What really gets to me is that the perpetrators become the victims; the innocent get the blame; and the young woman who commits all the murders was obviously made psychotic by her environment. The husband, Alexander, who is 20 years her senior and obviously resents her, and his father (both white) were terrible men who bought Katherine like a slave and wanted to capture her and imprison her until she had bred a new heir, presumably to ensure that a little black boy will not inherit from Alexander. Except that Alexander won't have sex with her, and just masturbates in front of her. These are the men I am meant to feel sorry for when she kills them! When we first meet her black lover, Sebastian, the insubordinate servant, he is torturing the one "innocent" in the movie, the black maid Anna, and there is an implied gang rape planned. Sebastian then goes to Katherine's room to presumably rape her, and she decides to have consensual sex with him and make him her lover. This is the man that I am meant to feel sympathy towards because he is led astray by Katherine. Beats me! And the movie gets worse from that!
Excellent story, told beautifully, acted with deep sensitivity. I cried and laughed and enjoyed every minute. I would watch it again in a heart-beat.
Excellent! Well-documented. Not preachy. This documentary provides thought provoking information within casual conversation. A must for all who care about the this planet and how we will leave it to the future generations.
Carrie Pilby was the best film I saw at TIFF this year. Charming, funny and thoughtful. Bel Powley was amazing, and Vanessa Bayer and Jason Ritter.
We absolutely loved this film. The acting and characters are so rich, the dialogue is subtle, funny at times, and building an incredible tension through the whole film. The setting is beautiful, authentic, literally filmed at the same country house where the original story took place. It's hard to believe this is Konkona Sensharma's first film as writer and director, but it makes sense given the incredible lineage of Bengali filmmakers she comes from. And of course seeing this as a debut at TIFF was a treat.
This film is a must see for everyone and should be required viewing for all middle and high schoolers! It follows two young women, around 15 years old, as they are being romanced via Facebook by Jihadists (like a sexual predators do), to the point of radicalization... I won't tell more but a must see film! It takes place in France!
