TIFF 2013 Coverage: My Toronto International Film Festival Reviews



 
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the Toronto International Film Festival for the first time earlier this month, to provide festival coverage for PopMatters. Below are links to my reviews of the films that I saw at the festival:
 

Gerontophilia (dir. Bruce LaBruce) and Young & Beautiful (dir. Francois Ozon)
Gravity (dir. Alfonso Cuaron) and Le Week-End (dir. Roger Michell)
Wałęsa. Man of Hope (dir. Andrzej Wajda)
Bastards (dir. Claire Denis)
Stranger By The Lake (dir. Alain Guiraudie)
August: Osage County (dir. John Wells)
A Story of Children and Film (dir. Mark Cousins) and InRealLife (dir. Beeban Kidron)
Can A Song Save Your Life? (dir. John Carney)

New stories every day, new paradoxes, opinions. Now come tidings of entertainments, triumphs, revels, plays. Then again, as in a new shifted scene, new discoveries, expeditions, now comical then tragical matters. (Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy)
