Yes, it’s that time of the year again, when Steve disappeared into many theatres for 10 days and the unwary thought they could get away with transit announcements while he’s wasn’t looking.

In each review, the film title is linked to the corresponding page on the TIFF site which contains credits, stills and, in some cases, trailers. Where titles are shown in their original language, note that the English version is the one assigned by the production, not necessarily a literal translation. The reviews appear in the order that I saw the films.
My rankings are:
- ***** Personal favourite
- **** Excellent
- *** Good
- ** Worth One Viewing
- * Don’t Bother
Due to circumstances, these articles have sat half-finished for the past few weeks, and work on them will be further interrupted by a busy agenda at a recent TTC meeting. In any event, I hope to finish them before (Canadian) Thanksgiving.
