Silver Dollar Road — Toronto International Film Festival Review

September 27, 2023 By: superuser

(***) Swindlers stealing land from Black folks is an age-old scam. One worth exposing.  Silver Dollar road is a waterfront property in North Carolina that’s been in the Reels family for generations. Unbeknownst to them, they’ve been conned out of a large portion of their acreage by a deceitful relative and white land developers. That […]

One Life –- Toronto International Film Festival Review 

September 27, 2023 By: superuser

(***) Many films have catalogued the personal and miraculous experiences of those who’ve survived the holocaust. Add this heart-warming movie to that canon of movies that have shed light on the people who escaped from a massive genocide.  In the 1980s, Nicholas Winton (Sir Anthony Hopkins), an elderly British man, cleans out a drawer in his home office […]

Flora and Son –- Toronto International Film Festival Review

September 27, 2023 By: superuser

(***)  Writer/director John Carney scored big with his Irish rom/dra/mus Once. That gem won an Oscar® for Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song for the tune “Falling Slowly.” In fact, the story and music were so rich that project evolved into a popular Broadway musical. This new stab at the same genre isn’t […]

Copa 71 — Toronto International Film Festival Review

September 27, 2023 By: superuser

(***)  The six all-female, international soccer teams that converged on Mexico City in 1971 were in a league of their own.  They were unsanctioned by the patronizing, condescending FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association). Both hailed and harassed by the press. What was their objective? Winning the Women’s World Cup.  Daily, 100,000 football fans gathered to watch them […]

Ezra — Toronto International Film Festival Review

September 27, 2023 By: superuser

(**)  It’s rare that films venture into the world of autism. In that way, audiences will be grateful for this family dramedy, even though its far-fetched storyline misses the mark.  Max (Bobby Cannavale), a New Jersey standup comic, leads an alternative lifestyle. He isn’t a 9-5 type and makes his money doing gigs. His ex-wife Jenna […]

Reptile — Toronto International Film Festival Review

September 25, 2023 By: superuser

(**1/2)  Benicio Del Toro doesn’t appear in a lot of films. So, his fans need to catch him when they can. Even in meandering crime/dramas.  Music video director Grant Singer (The Weeknd, Sam Smith) adds feature filmmaker and screenwriter to his resume. He teams up with co-screenwriters Benjamin Brewer and Del Toro as they tell a story […]

The Holdovers — Toronto International Film Festival Review

September 25, 2023 By: superuser

(***)  This gathering of three lost souls, pushed together by circumstance and location, takes a bit of time to weave its sardonic magic. But it gets there.   In 1970 New England, Barton is an elitist all-boys, live-in, private high school. Over winter break some kids aren’t going home. They’re the “holdovers.” The most unpopular and […]

The Teachers’ Lounge – Toronto International Film Festival Review

September 25, 2023 By: superuser

(****) New teachers face certain perils whenever they walk into a classroom. Those dangers are on view in this riveting drama.  Carla (Leonie Benesch), a Polish immigrant, works in a German junior high school. The principal and her administration are conducting an investigation into a series of thefts. After grilling students, in the most intrusive […]
