TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FEST WRAP UP



 
Still haven’t been able to make it to TIFF, on my radar in the next few years, but Indie Wire has put out a thorough, comprehensive review of all the important films shown.  On page 2 of the article there is a grade ranking of both premieres and films that were at TIFF but premiered elsewhere.


A few of the films that jump out: ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’ (directed by Cianfrance, see ‘Blue Valentine’), ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ (David O. Russel pic, see ‘The Fighter’), ‘Looper’ (sitting at 100% on RT currently), ‘Anna Karenina’ (Knightley teams up with ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and ‘Atonement’ director Joe Wright), ‘End of Watch’ (cop drama dropping this weekend with Gyllenhaal, received low grade), ‘Cloud Atlas’ (Hanks, low grade as well), ‘Argo’ (Affleck pic, was at TFF), ‘The Sessions’ (Oscar potential), ‘Rust and Bone’ ‘Amour’ ‘Hyde Park on Hudson’ ‘Frances Ha’ ‘Ginger and Rosa’ ‘The Sapphires’ (all at TFF).

I have seen a couple of these at TFF and some are opening wide within the next few weeks, reviews to come.   This weekend; ‘End of Watch’, ‘Dredd’, and ‘Trouble with the Curve’ all release wide, doubt much Oscar clout will be present but stranger things have happened.
