"Greetings from Toronto, Canada! I'm braving long lines and busy streets for the next week or so to attend the Toronto International Film Festival, better known as TIFF, and I'm planning to take you all along with me. Each day I'll be publishing a dispatch covering my time at the festival, including thoughts on every single movie I watch. As of now, I have more than 20 different features on my schedule so, uh, expect a lot of thoughts."
"TIFF is historically a nice preview of the fall and holiday film slate, featuring a mix of awards contenders, indie flicks, and blockbuster-adjacent movies from big-name directors. In recent years, that has included everything from The Substance, to The Boy and the Heron, to whatever Megalopolis is. One of my favorite TIFF memories is watching the world premiere of Glass Onion in 2022, and seeing The Verge make a guest appearance that I couldn't talk about with anyone until it started streaming months later."
