Toronto International Film Festival that ends this weekend, very busy , humming, and packed screenings everywhere—a sign that if you’re looking for one, the movie is back. But, of course, watching the movie is not back. A dismal summer at the box office makes Toronto feel like a hopeful sign: a sign that awards season movies are on the way, not all of them on your streaming service. There will be a reason to head to the cinema this fall. Movie lovers on the streets of Toronto desperately need a red carpet glimpse of Harry Styles ( There’s the premiere of My Cop or Daniel Craig (there’s premiere of) Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery ) or Michelle Williams (Steven Spielberg’s Audience Award-winning star The Fabelmans
). A long way to go. I queued up three blocks or more to see whales (Darren Aronofsky’s latest on – Pound Man, played Resonate by Brendan Fraser) and Women Talking (more on this in below). Over the four days of the festival, I saw as much as I could. Here are my favorites, in order of publication. Mark your calendar. Aftersun(A, October)
Mezcal and Corio in Aftersun.

Scottish filmmaker Charlotte Wells is full of emotional force in this gorgeous and impressionistic debut. This is a young single dad, Calum (Paul Mescal), with his -year-old daughter Sophie (Frankie Corio) takes a cheap vacation in Turkey. Mezcal does the delicate work of an amiable, broken-hearted father torn between youth and responsibility, while newcomer Frankie Corio is a brave, expressive girl who desperately needs to get from him. What she got there, she would never get. Aftersun Vibrant footage and indelible sadness – a lovely heartbreaking film under the sun.

Oscar-winning filmmaker and playwright Martin McDonnell Naruto reunites with actors Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson (his beloved star 156 Movie in Bruges ) funny in this dark in the Irish fable. This is my favorite MacDonald movie, set in 79 On a small coastal island where a rugged green landscape is framed by sheer cliffs and raging waves, both stars star in spectacular comedy form appears. Pádraic (Farrell) and Colm (Gleeson) are reliable friends at the local bar, but suddenly an amateur musician, Colm, decides to try writing a song, announcing the end of the friendship, leaving Pádraic at a loss. The confrontation between the two escalates in hilarious, moving and terrifying ways. Brutal and sweet, the film is a thoughtful examination of dissatisfaction and the stubbornness of artistic creation and human need.
