Five Adaptations to Watch for at TIFF 2026
From books to podcasts, adaptations are abundant at Toronto International Film Festival. Here are 5 adaptations to watch for coming out of TIFF 2026.
Review: ‘The End of Oak Street’ is The Surprise of the Summer
The End of Oak Street is a wonderful journey from start to finish that perfectly encapsulates the adventure films of old. With its strong characterization and grand set pieces, it makes for a great theater experience. It would be a shame not to see this in a theater because, while it may seem like a small story, its big scale allows you to settle in for one of the most enjoyable rides of the summer.
Why There Will Never Be a G.O.A.T. Actor
We live in a world where many people categorize greatness, and there is no greater bestowal of greatness than being called “The Greatest of All Time,” or “G.O.A.T,” in our modern vernacular. You see that term being thrown around in sports: Jordan or LeBron, Messi or Ronaldo, and so on. Some people even want to […]
‘Manhunter’ at 40: The Hannibal Lecter Film We Forgot Before ‘The Silence of the Lambs’
On its 40th anniversary, revisiting Manhunter is a reminder of just how easily Mann’s first Hannibal Lecter film has been overshadowed by The Silence of the Lambs (1991). The film is a pioneer of the most feared and, at the same time, revered criminal of cinema of all time, Hannibal Lecter. Yet, when we hear the name, we can only think of the latter and have sealed Manhunter away in a forgotten box in our cupboards, considering it as one of Mann’s most underrated films.
Review: ‘One Night Only’ is a New York City Rom-Com Return to Form, With a Sexually Confusing Twist
One Night Only brings back the 2000s-esque New York City romantic comedy, with a politicized anti-sex mandate that shakes things up.
‘The Last House’ Review: It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, Your Grandpa is Snoring
The Last House is the latest Netflix thriller, and it’s the kind that makes you think, “Who is going to watch this?” Then you see that it was their number one movie in 89 countries for the first 48 hours after it dropped, and apparently everybody watched it but you. So I watched it, and […]
Review: ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3 Marks a Thrilling Return To Form for Westeros
After all the discourse surrounding Westeros television, House of the Dragon Season 3 feels like a vindication of what this universe can still be. It does not need to be Game of Thrones. It does not need to perfectly recreate "Fire & Blood." It simply needs to understand why these stories have endured.
Checking in on the Awards Race: Can Netflix Actually Seal the Deal, This Time?
As Fall film festivals (Venice, TIFF, Telluride, New York) begin, so does the Oscar journey for the 2027 Oscars. There’s more mystery than certainty when it comes to the Best Picture race, and the pre-Fall festival window can still allow some more theorizing and postulating than having to be concrete. Always the bridesmaids, never the […]
The Cast of ‘A Safe Distance’ Talk About Finding Yourself, Ambiguous Movie Endings, and Society’s Expectations of Women
Fantasia International Film Festival is one of the premier genre film festivals in the country, with over 100 new sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and cult cinema movies debuting every year. While it didn’t debut at Fantasia Fest (that honor belongs to SXSW this year), A Safe Distance reigned as one of the best movies at the festival.
‘Tony’ Review: Matt Johnson’s Bourdain Biopic is a Visual and Emotional Feast
'Tony' is Matt Johnson’s follow-up to ‘Nirvanna,' a touching, nuanced coming-of-age story with another satisfying performance from Dominic Sessa.
‘Cape Fear’ Season 1 Review: A Modern Retelling Marred by Uneven Execution
Javier Bardem and Amy Adams lead Apple TV's 'Cape Fear,' a retelling of a Martin Scorsese classic that fails to live up to its predecessor.
‘Hadestown: The Musical’ Review: Powerhouse Performances of a Moving Modernized Greek Tragedy, Immortalized on Film
'Hadestown: The Musical' brings Anaïs Mitchell's Broadway hit to the big screen, a captivating watch with powerhouse performances all around.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Review: Destin Daniel Cretton Brings the Spectacular to the Friendly Neighborhood Webcrawler
Tom Holland's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man teams up with Jon Bernthal, Zendaya, and Mark Ruffalo in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day.'
FANTASIA 2026: Diego Fuentes’s Debut Feature ‘Matapanki’ is a Disruptive, Bold, Punk-tastic Masterpiece
Spider-Man meets anti-capitalist punk in 'Matapanki,' a bold and brazen film from Diego Fuentes out of this year's Fantasia Festival.
‘I Want Your Sex’: Gregg Araki Returns With a Raunchy, Inconsistent Comedy
Cooper Hoffman and Olivia Wilde star in Gregg Araki's provocative yet underbaked 'I Want Your Sex.'
