I won’t mince words: Atom Egoyan’s Devil’s Knot is pretty bad. Not the worst thing to open this week, mind you, but pretty terrible.

Still, Colin Firth does what he can to give it a soul, and it’s always a pleasure to sit down and talk to the guy, so that’s what I did at TIFF last year. You’ll find our Q&A in this week’s NOW, along with a look at the Jean-Luc Godard and Paul Verhoeven retrospectives kicking off at the Lightbox this week.

Go on, read them … and see if you can figure out which piece was filed in Tribeca. Pretend there’s a prize!
