I couldn't have asked for better payoff for DUNE PART ONE than the absolute epicness we're treated to in DUNE PART TWO. The scale of this movie larger than life, with incredible cinematography and sound design that rocked my world. IMAX strongly recommended. #DunePartTwo

Upon second watch, y'all, IDGAF - DUNE PART TWO is nothing short of exceptional sci fi filmmaking. Seriously, an instant sci fi classic. This is exactly what audiences should be clamoring to see in theaters. GO SEE IT IN IMAX ASAP!

I couldn't be happier to have ended TIFF on such a high note. HIT MAN is a certified banger with a super smart script & sizzling chemistry between its leading pair. Glen Powell's performance deserves all the accolades. Films like this are exactly what I come to TIFF for. #TIFF23

INFINITY POOL is unhinged. Brandon Cronenberg delivers another striking piece of bizarre cinema with great acid-trip visuals and a surprising amount of comedy. With fantastic performances from Mia Goth and Alexander Sarsgaard, this film is a pool I thoroughly enjoyed diving into.

MAGAZINE DREAMS is going to live in my head for a long time. It's tense, unnerving, and often harrowing, but there's payoff in the end. Jonathan Majors gives an **outstanding** performance. Elijah Bynum nails it on his sophomore feature.

CIVIL WAR is much less politically charged than you might assume. Alex Garland takes the suspense he's great at in sci fi and applies it seamlessly to warfare, and for that, I land favorably on it. Also, 5 minutes of Jesse Plemons was THE highlight of the film. Reel Buzzed…

Keep your expectations in check for QUIZ LADY. It's silly, goofy comedy - perfect for throwing on TV at home on a low key night, not for taking super seriously. The plot is entirely nonsensical, but the Sandra Oh/Awkwafina dynamic can be fun to hang out with. #TIFF23
