Truly a fantastic one-stop shop for lovers of...physical media. 💀 #TIFF26

42 - HALF: Not much plot, but a lotta gory kills, in this Indian tale of immortal siblings vs some road murderers #TIFF26

An uninspired cross between an R-rated DCOM and a rejected Pitch Perfect script, GIRL GROUP seems destined for streaming obscurity. The musical performances are fine and a stray joke lands here and there, but this is mostly feels like a flat, poorly constructed knock-off. Pinky promise. #TIFF26
I’ve never done a TIFF Midnight Madness before.
Fitting that my first is an Indian movie, Half. Excited!

41 - Light Pillar: Soporific Chinese animated drama about a sad sack janitor at a dilapidated film studio longing for something else #TIFF26
I was busy yesterday with travel stress and trying to find a quiet spot in various airports to watch and write about the next Lanterns episode that I never really wrapped up my #TIFF26 experience. First up, here are my Letterboxd ratings for everything I saw (in reverse chronological order).
Sneha Kumari portrays a strong-minded and confident young woman in #Phoolan #TIFF26 imageryatthemovies.com/on-screen/ti...
A Green Room-adjacent Australian thriller, KICK ON is a blood-soaked and surprisingly mean-spirited one bad night story. The over-the-top violence and gore will certainly be entertaining for genre fans, but the story and characters do very little to back them up. #TIFF26
World premiere of @mikeflanaganfilm.com’s Carrie at #TIFF26!
Starring Manitoba’s own Summer H. Howell in the lead role and filmed in B.C. like most Flanagan productions. 🍁
(Huge thanks to @helloimjlaw.bsky.social of @geekcentric.bsky.social for the ticket — they rock, check them out!)
Sadly I found TREES ARE WATCHING no better than middling Blumhouse fare. #TIFF26
40 - The Assassin(s): Fascinating conspiracy thriller about the 1974 assassination attempt in South Korea and the conflicts between the free press and the government #TIFF26
In #Muyi, the watercolours and organic drawings creates charming scenery and delightful personalities, giving it a storybook quality #TIFF26 imageryatthemovies.com/on-screen/ti...
POSSIBLE LOVE - Folks, this flick is going to be major. Loosely connected a chapter of DEKALOG, this masterfully observed tale features my favorite lead performance of 2026. Jeon Do-yeon’s face says everything. A sharp study of desire and how, no matter our class, we’ll always want more. #TIFF26 📽️
