If the movie section of this week’s NOW feels a little frenetic, what with all the film festivals and everything, just imagine what it was like to spend two weeks watching all those Sprockets and Toronto Jewish Film Festival entries, looking for the good stuff. Because there was plenty of stuff that was, shall we say, less good.

My picks for the TJFF were “The Debt” (which is the source of today’s image) and “Run For Your Life“; my Sprockets piece is here.

Also worth a read, in my humble estimation: My interview with Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, whose “Sugar” is a major step forward for the duo after “Half Nelson”. Which was pretty good to begin with, mind you.
