TIFF Review Roundup: Day Five
TIFF isn’t just about firefighters crashing a red carpet and sweet new Lightboxes and people passing out during 127 Hours‘ amputation scene: it’s also about film! So how were the latest batch of flicks we’ve reviewed? Well, superhero movie SUPER (
) is just super; The Light Thief (
) is a bit of a snooze; Michael Winterbottom’s The Trip (
) is “unfailingly funny”; Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (), in which Father Christmas is “an ancient demon who once terrorized the indigenous people of Lapland,” is great; while ATTENBERG (
) is mostly weird.
