Day 9 of #TIFF26: POSSIBLE LOVE, TENDER LOVING CARE, TREES ARE WATCHING, CLUB KID
Sunburn is my biggest #TIFF26 surprise. A hilarious and heartfelt comedy-drama set in Toronto’s St. James Town and one of my favourite films of 2026, period.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
#MyLastFourWatched indicates I’m having a great #TIFF26 so far. And I suspect these 4-star ratings may climb - they’ve been bouncing around in my head. I’m just hesitant to hand out immediate 4.5s/5s. 📽️
'Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty!' grieves a whimsical ballroom dance drama 🕺 at @tiffnet.bsky.social bit.ly/4rgEx74 #TIFF26
on day eight of #TIFF26 i watched the mammoth-length documentary 'Life of Jorge Luis Borges' and Sebastian Brameshuber's intimate, extraordinary film 'London'
plus: thoughts on 'Clarissa' (great!), 'The Unknown' (great!), and 'Fjord' (not great!)
THE VIOLINIST was gorgeous, with a score that builds so it can gently coax the tears out as the story builds. Fantastic. #TIFF26
If video clips are more your thing, I’m getting some of our TIFF video content up faster than I’m writing:

Tim Blake Nelson’s heartfelt intentions with 'The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd' demand respect but the weak material results in Southern-fried miserablism.
Read @cjprince.bsky.social's #TIFF26 review:
NEW: TIFF reveals inaugural Market stats, though helps to have context:
-7K industry delegates (6K reported in 2025; TIFF subsidized travel this year for 200; fest aims for 12K by 2030)
-196 market screenings (TIFF originally advertised 650 slots; unclear if that included press screenings)

While playing Gilles Villeneuve, actor Rémi Goulet learned he had so much in common with the late race car driver that he eventually started viewing Villeneuve as a friend.
My story on VILLENEUVE: RISE OF A LEGEND:
Good movie... #tiff26
