The premise is rather simple - an older CEO, played by Nicole Kidman, soon finds out that one of the new Interns (Harris Dickinson) can tame dogs with a stern hand — which is code for ‘He’s a Dom’. They start an affair - Miss CEO, real name Romy, wants

Saturday Night: The most ‘film’ of the year

As I entered the Press Screening, a TIFF Volunteer struck up a conversation with me - she lobbied to work this shift, to work this very screening, and would stand through the entire thing, just to see the film. There were murmurs on the street that it would be People’

Sudan, Remember Us: Loving and Leaving

In one of the best films at the festival, ‘Sudan, Remember Us’ brings to the western consciousness the question of Sudanese sovereignty in a world intent on keeping the land’s people dispossessed and removed. Through poetry, painting, remembering and a lot of song, people can learn of the strength

We Live in (Constellations) Time

It was only 20 minutes in when I asked myself the question, ‘Did this guy rip off the play ‘Constellations’? Reader. The guy literally wrote ‘Constellations’. We Live in Time seems like a pretty typical take on a love story, with tragedy and ups and downs. The time bendiness reminded

Lean in to ‘The Listeners’

What a feast of two episodes, at the edge of my seat the entire time only to drop the twist right when we’re leaving. As it should be. The Listeners is very deceptive, for reasons that will become obvious when you see the second episode, but for the first
