They’re very different films, but both happen to center on well-meaning professional liars played by actors with high Q scores, and are crowd pleasers to the extent that they will be strong candidates for the fest’s coveted audience award, which often presages Oscar success. Roofman, which premiered at Roy Thomson Hall, was directed by Derek Cianfrance from a script that he wrote with Kirt Gunn, and is based on a true story. It stars Channing Tatum as…

It may have confirmed pre-conceived theories about which players from an MLS-heavy roster can make the step up to the international…

At my second day at TIFF 2025, the longest line I saw wasn’t for a movie: it was for the Criterion Closet. The space is housed in a van so that it could make it up to Toronto, and honestly, it felt a little wrong to see the outside of it after watching everyone from Michael Cera to Hideo Kojima spend time in its cramped interior digging through Blu-Rays.The line was long enough that I didn’t even bother trying to get inside, which is probably a good thing since I’d just be overwhelmed anyways. Besides, standing in that line would…
