    A whip-smart black comedy, driven by a knockout le A whip-smart black comedy, driven by a knockout lead performance, No Other Choice is one of the crown jewels of this year’s TIFF slate. A taut and stylish thriller, a hilarious dark comedy, and a searing social commentary.

    Anaconda gets a self-aware “spiritual reboot,” lea Anaconda gets a self-aware “spiritual reboot,” leaning fully into action-comedy with Jack Black and Paul Rudd. Directed by Tom Gormican, the film affectionately riffs on the 1997 cult classic, delivering a meta, ridiculous, and genuinely entertaining ride that knows exactly why the original still lives rent-free in our heads. A fun, holiday-ready crowd-pleaser for fans and newcomers alike.

    Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme is a breathless, darkl Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme is a breathless, darkly funny character study of ambition, entitlement, and self-mythologizing. Led by a career-defining performance from Timothée Chalamet, the film follows table tennis wunderkind Marty Mauser as his unshakable belief in his own greatness pulls everyone around him into chaos.

Moving at breakneck speed, Safdie explores the toxic side of the American dream through a protagonist who is equal parts charismatic, reckless, and destructive. From New York to London to Tokyo, Marty’s refusal to slow down or take responsibility turns every opportunity into a high-stakes gamble.

Exhilarating, relentless, and sharply observed, Marty Supreme is a thrilling takedown of exceptionalism and the idea that success, no matter how brief, is the ultimate prize.

    Set within a labyrinthine mansion, The Housemaid u Set within a labyrinthine mansion, The Housemaid unfolds as a twisty psychological duel between Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney. Embracing pulp, camp, and melodrama, the film shifts perspectives, spirals into gaslighting and open conflict, and leans heavily on style and spectacle. Entertaining and visually striking, it’s designed for easy consumption rather than lasting depth. 🎬

    Flying quietly under the radar, Is This Thing On? Flying quietly under the radar, Is This Thing On? is a solidly smart and sly adult drama about the demise of a marriage. Will Arnett gives what might be the best big-screen performance of his career, with Laura Dern delivering a simple yet affecting performance. Understated, character-driven, and refreshingly honest, it’s one of the more solid dramas audiences can treat themselves to this year, and one that deserves to be discussed. 🎬

    For the terminally online, the multi-billion-dolla For the terminally online, the multi-billion-dollar popularity of the Avatar series has been nothing if not perplexing. Avatar: Fire and Ash isn’t the triumphant conclusion to a three-story arc, but a frustrating example writ large of creative exhaustion. Visually dazzling imagery, impressive world-building, and spectacle-driven set pieces remain, yet the film flounders on repetitive plot beats, well-worn genre tropes, and cringe-inducing dialogue, still likely to give it another few billion dollars.

    Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, co-written with Emily M Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, co-written with Emily Mortimer, explores the chaotic, self-aware life of a celebrity, starring George Clooney as an actor navigating fame, legacy, and personal fulfillment. With a star-studded cast including Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Riley Keough, Greta Gerwig, and Billy Crudup, the film dives into the people behind the spotlight, their relationships, and the highs and lows of Hollywood life.

    The holidays are a time for cheerful decorations, The holidays are a time for cheerful decorations, but in Silent Night, Deadly Night, killing is a holiday tradition. Every December, Billy goes on a Santa-clad murder spree, one kill for every day in the Advent calendar.

What it lacks in gore, it makes up for in style, with a flashy title treatment preceding each murder and giving the film character. Billy becomes a Christmas vigilante, guided by a gravelly imaginary friend with a surprisingly likable personality.

Overall, this film is an improvement on the original, replacing standard slasher fare with a more complex story and a more interesting motive, forcing audiences to reserve their judgment.

    Rest in peace, Rob Reiner (1947–2025). A towering Rest in peace, Rob Reiner (1947–2025).
A towering figure in film and television, Rob gave us some of the most beloved stories of the past decades, from This Is Spinal Tap and Stand By Me, to The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally… and A Few Good Men. His work brought laughter, heart, and insight to audiences across generations, and his influence will be felt forever in the art he helped shape.
Thank you for the films, the joy, and the unforgettable characters.
    Politics is a touchy subject nowadays, and Ella Mc Politics is a touchy subject nowadays, and Ella McCay is presented as a political drama-comedy that glazes over anything actually political. Instead, it spends nearly two hours lollygagging through meaningless interpersonal relationships that fail to deliver on the promise of both drama and comedy.

Set in 2008, the film says very little about the political atmosphere that plagued the U.S. during a chaotic moment in time, focusing instead on a do-gooder protagonist packaged in a Mary Sue persona that comes off as cartoonishly missing the point.

At its core, Ella McCay could have been a fascinating story of someone wanting to do good in a system actively working against them. Instead, the storytelling makes the audience feel like a kid whose parents are lying to them about a world and people that no longer exist.

    An inventively stylish horror fairy tale, Dust Bun An inventively stylish horror fairy tale, Dust Bunny is as thrilling as it is heartfelt. Wildly colourful, spooky, and deliciously funny, Bryan Fuller’s feature directorial debut brings his unique vision to life in whimsically macabre ways.

Reuniting with Mads Mikkelsen in what might just be the sweetest role of his career, alongside a wonderful breakout performance from Sophie Sloan, the film blends childhood fears, dark comedy, and fairytale magic into a visual delight.

Whimsical and weird, Dust Bunny is a reminder of just how fun genre cinema can be, the kind of film that crawls out from under the bed and straight into cult classic territory.

Following Joan as she must choose between two husbands waiting for her in the afterlife, the film blends humor, heart, and a unique perspective on grief and love. Though its final act feels overstuffed, strong performances from Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, and Callum Turner make Eternity a standout surprise and one of the year’s most memorable films.

    Zootopia crossed $1B at the box office and won the Zootopia crossed $1B at the box office and won the 2017 Oscar for Best Animated Film, making a sequel inevitable, though delays made it seem unlikely. 

The new film picks up right after the original, following Judy and Nick as their partnership is questioned after a bungled chase. Sent to group therapy, they confront trust and reciprocity issues that shape their journey. This time, the story explores prejudice between mammals and reptiles, revealing propaganda used to divide the population. 

With humor, meta gags, and big set pieces, the sequel deepens the series’ pro-diversity and pro-inclusion message, which now feels even more radical amid today’s political climate.

Buckley gives a quietly devastating performance as Agnes, while Mescal challenges any idea of Shakespeare as a romantic hero.
