Beautiful Boy (I) (2018)

POWERFUL PERFORMANCES BRING THIS TO LIFE

[9/10 · 21 September 2018]

This film could have been bogged down with its flashbacks and some narrative cliches, but man do Carell and Chalamet's performances make this film soar. 9/10.

Capernaum (2018)

self-congratulatory cinema is not cinema.

[1/10 · 21 September 2018]

I was a major fan of last year's THE INSULT and was curious to see this at TIFF. Let's just say it has nowhere near the maturity, insight, and prowess of Ziad Doueiri's work. At the screening for CAPARNAUM, we saw several people rolling their eyes at what is so clearly a film designed to make a person cry -- and so cheaply. The fact that the director cast herself as a legal "savior" to the little boy says it all.

GO SEE THIS FILM!

I saw this at TIFF and loved it from beginning to end. It's a moving true story about two people who forge an unlikely friendship. Thought-provoking but never preachy.
