My review of A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY for @screenrant.bsky.social. I only wish I’d liked it more.
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey Review: Colin Farrell & Margot Robbie's Romantic Fantasy Is A Study In Manufactured Sentimentality
A rousing story about finding someone and falling in love this is not — nor does it truly contend with the need for human connection very well.

My review of BAD APPLES. Saoirse Ronan is excellent per usual. A dark comedy that will have you laughing and gasping. #TIFF2025 #TIFF50
Bad Apples Review: The Most Unhinged Dark Comedy You'll See This Year Boasts A Wildly Funny Saoirse Ronan Performance
The film is genuinely funny, and the cast is up to the task as the story balances impending consequences for Maria’s actions and gasp-inducing comedy.

What a lovely, tender film. RENTAL FAMILY stole my heart. Perhaps one of my favorite films at #TIFF50 #TIFF2025 so far.

Cillian Murphy is always great but the supporting cast in STEVE is particularly excellent. #TIFF50 #TIFF2025
Steve TIFF Review: Cillian Murphy Gives A Stirring Performance In Experimental Drama, But It's Jay Lycurgo Who Steals The Show
With a phenomenal ensemble, the supporting actors, namely Jay Lycurgo, is so excellent that I would’ve liked the film to focus more on them.

My review of WAKE UP DEAD MAN. Not as good as the previous two installments but these franchise films remain enjoyable. #TIFF50 #TIFF2025
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery Review - Rian Johnson's Sharp Franchise Has Lost Some Of Its Edge With Latest Mystery
Rian Johnson still keeps us on our toes, but the franchise has lost some of its footing with this one.

Recap of films seen today at #TIFF2025:
Sentimental Value - amazing, perfect, no notes.
A Private Life - an interesting drama that has good intentions but is a bit all over the place.
It Was Just an Accident - a strong story of vengeance with an even stronger cast. I was riveted the whole time.
