We’re closing NOW’s TIFF preview issue today, so I’m running around like a maniac seeing movies and filing capsules down to the wire. Six-word review time!
Angry Indian Goddesses: Pan Nalin’s feminist drama overreaches slightly. [Susan]
Don’t Blink – Robert Frank: The artist and his art, superficially. [Jose]
Don’t Breathe: Evil Dead‘s Alvarez and Levy, reunited!
Hieronymus Bosch: Touched by the Devil: Thesis in the title, I guess.
Hooligan Sparrow: Sex-assault protestors struggling in China. [Rad]
In Order of Disappearance: Norwegian thriller has a mordant wit.
Ixcanul: Teenage despair on a Guatemalan plantation. [Rad]
Manhattan Night: Brody. Scott. Good performances, overheated movie.
Mechanic: Resurrection: … but he didn’t die, did he?
Southside with You: Barack and Michelle’s first date. Awwww.
A Tale of Love and Darkness: Natalie Portman’s directorial debut. Decent enough.
Tunnel: A particularly intimate Korean disaster movie.
There, that’s everything. Sorry, gotta run and do more stuff. You know how it is.
