Welp, it’s the holidays and all the best releases this week are from TIFF … though of course that’s not a negative if you missed them the first time around. High Life, in particular, is something you really ought to see on a big screen. So maybe do that? I dunno, I’m buried in documentaries and just doing my best to keep my head above water.
Breakthrough: Faith-based, true-life, something something.
The Curse of La Llorona: Another Conjuring movie! No press screening!
The Grizzlies: Another really solid Canadian sports drama.
High Life: Claire Denis gets all cosmic. Awesome. [Kevin]
Long Day’s Journey into Night: Bi Gan goes for freaking broke. [Paul]
Nureyev: Fascinating person, revelatory dancer, annoying documentary.
Penguins: DisneyNature’s latest does the DisneyNature thing.
Rafiki: Young lovers risk everything in Kenya. [Paul]
Sir: Class-conscious romance in modern Mumbai. [Rad]
Teen Spirit: Elle Fanning, pop star? I mean … [Glenn]
And that’s everything! Enjoy the long weekend, I’ll be here. Weeping.
