With the actors and writers still on strike, we pundits kind of have the room to ourselves.

Shadan’s TIFF Diary Part II: American Fiction, Memory and the Dramas of TIFF 2023

I've spent what probably amounts to entirely too much time trying to think of ways to divide the 40-something films I saw during the Toronto International Film Festival into appropriately-themed diaries.

"When they look at you, they see what they want to be.

Since its first season dropped in 2019, The Morning Show has followed HBO’s Newsroom format—or what I like to call The Lake House technique of reflecting on the recent past (Keanu Reeves) from the “future” or our present (Sandra Bullock). Often...
