As some of you may know, I’m an avid film lover. You may also know that I have been volunteering at TIFF (The Toronto International Film Festival) every year for the past 4 years. Well, it’s time to make it 5 years in a row this year! I thought I’d celebrate my 5-year volunteer-a-versary by highlighting the films that I have watched and reviewed over the past 4 years! Without further ado, click the film titles below to see all of the TIFF films I have reviewed from years past!

Buster’s Mal Heart

A family man’s chance encounter with a conspiracy-obsessed drifter leaves him on the run from the police and an impending event known as The Inversion.

2017

The Lodgers

1920, rural Ireland. Anglo Irish twins Rachel and Edward share a strange existence in their crumbling family estate. Each night, the property becomes the domain of a sinister presence which enforces three rules upon the twins: they must be in bed by midnight; they may not permit an outsider past the threshold; if one attempts to escape, the life of the other is placed in jeopardy. When troubled war veteran Sean returns to the nearby village, he is immediately drawn to the mysterious Rachel, who in turn begins to break the rules set out by The Lodgers. The consequences pull Rachel into a deadly confrontation with her brother – and with the curse that haunts them.

Three Christs

Three Christs follows Dr. Alan Stone who is treating three paranoid schizophrenic patients at the Ypsilanti State Hospital in Michigan, each of whom believed they were Jesus Christ. What transpires is both comic and deeply moving.

Kodachrome

Set during the final days of the admired photo development system known as Kodachrome, a father and son hit the road in order to reach the Kansas photo lab before it closes its doors for good.

There you have it! All of the films that I have watched and reviewed at TIFF in years past! I absolutely cannot wait to volunteer for a fifth year in a row, and hopefully catch a few more amazing flicks! Stay tuned for a full list of the films that I hope to catch this year!
