“The arrival of a charismatic priest, brings miracles, mysteries and renewed religious fervour to a dying town. The first half of #MidnightMass is very slow. The character introductions are fine but definitely not strong enough to make me care for any of them. Flanagan started out with Riley Flynn’s (#ZachGilford) story and then it fizzled out halfway through. There were many storylines that didn’t really intertwine the way they should have. Some character stories fell flat. The only interesting character, who held all this together was Monsignor Pruitt (#HamishLinklater). He commanded the screen and had powerful moments during his sermons.

Well that’s a wrap on #TIFF21 💫 this festival means the absolute world to me. I went as accredited press for the first time ever and I still can’t believe it. I started as a volunteer and now I’m officially covering it for two outlets. Still don’t have words.

“#Belfast is a coming-of-age drama set during the late-1960s in Northern Ireland. The film follows young Buddy (#JudeHill) as he navigates the landscape of working-class struggle, cultural changes, and sectarian violence. Buddy dreams of a glamorous future that will whisk him far from his troubles. In the meantime, he finds consolation in his charismatic Pa (#JamieDornan) and Ma (#CaitríonaBalfe), and his spry, tale-spinning grandparents (#CiaránHinds and #JudiDench). This cast worked so well together and you could feel them united as a family unit. Their chemistry and genuine love for this story was definitely felt.

“#Weerasethakul takes his audience on a journey through sound. The most important aspect of this film is the way the sound design impacts Jessica. Not only does Weerasethakul expertly balance the sound throughout, he lets the frame fill with silence, before awakening the senses. It is very slow, poignant, and will have audiences questioning the meaning of this film. It is left up to interpretation but the subtle hints to the extraterrestrials, to science, to human evolution, and to death, are all intertwined to show human connection.

“We have a husband and a wife, both writers, who are at two very different stages in their career. Chris (#VickyKrieps) and Tony (#TimRoth) head to the island to find some seclusion and inspiration for their writing. We see Chris’s in-development script come to life: a bittersweet love story starring Amy (#MiaWasikowska), a young filmmaker and obvious alter ego to Chris, who is reunited with her first love Joseph (#AndersDanielsenLie). Before the audience goes on the adventure with Chris’s new story, we get to understand the dynamic between husband and wife. And how Chris does not want to conform to putting her work on the back-burner in order to be a good housewife and raise her kids.

“With bold direction on the surface, the story itself explores the love and respect between parents and their children. Sometimes, the maternal/paternal figures in our lives, might not even be the parents you are born with. #Titane feels like it is divided into three acts quite clearly, and it all comes together at the end. When Alexia (#AgatheRousselle) is older, she is a car-showroom model and she begins to exhibit sexual attraction to her wares. As she explores her sexuality, with some very questionable sexual moments, #JuliaDucournau devilish storytelling presents the most obscure journey for Alexia.
