A Most Wanted Man Review
Philip Seymour Hoffman leaves behind one final exceptional leading performance in Anton Corbijn’s smart, stylish, and thrilling John le Carré adaptation, A Most Wanted Man.
A Master Builder Review
Actor and writer Wallace Shawn and director Jonathan Demme attempt to do justice to Ibsen and Louis Malle with A Master Builder, but neither seem to get a handle on the material.
I Origins Review

Monty Python Live (Mostly) Review
The swan song for one of the world's most beloved comedic troupes - Monty Python Live (Mostly) might lean too heavily on musical numbers, but it still gives the audience mostly what they want one final time.

Boyhood Review
Few films ever earn the right to be called a masterpiece. Richard Linklater's Boyhood is a masterpiece.
Wish I Was Here Review

Shorts Weather
Beat the heat with some shorts as the Shorts That Are Not Pants screening series returns to the Carlton in Toronto this Thursday.
Kuf Review
The tense, yet down to earth Turkish film Küf (which screens Wednesday night at 9:00pm at Double Double Land in Toronto as part of MDFF’s ongoing independent cinema screening series) is like three different films in one.
