90 m. ago From Knives Out 3 to Soderbergh: 10 films to look out for at the Toronto film festival 2025

Stars including Daniel Craig, Michaela Coel, Keanu Reeves and Channing Tatum to present latest films to big audiencesIt was a mostly underwhelming edition of the Toronto film festival last year, aiming for a big comeback after the strikes affected the year prior. Disappointments such as Nightbitch, Eden, The Last Showgirl, Nutcrackers, The Return and The Cut were only mildly offset by the surprising appearance of Mike Leigh with his effectively gruelling drama Hard Truths.But after spottier Venice and Telluride festivals than usual, worryingly light on slam-dunks, all eyes return to this year’s Toronto, hopeful that it might correct course for the season.

7 d. ago La Grazia review – Paolo Sorrentino opens mighty window on Italian leader’s despair

The director has rediscovered his voice working again with actor Toni Servillo, who plays a president looking back on a career of empty rectitudePaolo Sorrentino has rediscovered his voice, his wan humour and his flair for the surreal and sensational set piece; this wintry, elegant movie is a welcome reassertion of his natural style after the facile and weirdly humourless affectations of his previous, very disappointing film Parthenope. It is a dry comedy of grief and regret which wears its dreamy melancholy and ennui like a well-tailored if fussily old-fashioned suit, and it returns Sorrentino to the various mysterious tableaux of political power that recurred in Il Divo from 2009, about political mandarin Giulio Andreotti, and his 2013 film The Great Beauty about a dissolute journalist and hedonist bidding a bittersweet farewell to everything he holds dear.And above everything else, Grazia returns Sorrentino to the star of those films, 66-year-old Toni Servillo, his male muse and ...

2 w. ago Splitsville review – open marriage comedy is a silly, scrappy and sex

Dakota Johnson leads a raucous look at two couples exploring ethical non-monogamy in a messy yet entertaining rideIf you have spent any time on a dating app in hetero-world, you’ve probably encountered the type: enthusiastic, communicative, “partnered” with someone but “open” and very eager to talk about it. Or, rather, explain it – how it works, what the rules are, why it’s right for them. There is, of course, nothing inherently wrong with ethical non-monogamy – actually, there can be a lot right – nor should there be any universal expectations of romantic relationships besides mutual respect. But the reputation of ENMs in the straight dating world, however rightly earned, is suspect: expected condescension, mutually projected emotional superiority. Perhaps right in principle but also often annoying, and thus ripe for comedic skewering.Enter Splitsville, a new so-called “unromantic comedy” from longtime friends and writing partners Kyle Marvin and Michael Angelo Covino about a four...
