The Best Toronto International Film Festival Movies & Shows of 2024

As a cinephile with a keen eye for both timeless classics and contemporary masterpieces, I find myself utterly captivated by the rich tapestry of stories unfolding at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Among the many intriguing titles, three stand out as particularly compelling.

Each year after the summer slump following Cannes, the high-speed race of international film festivals revs up in late August with the Venice Film Festival, a tantalizing (and wet) prelude to what’s coming next. The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), widely acclaimed, continues the cinematic momentum from September 5th to the 15th. Following this, there will be Fantastic Fest, the New York Film Festival, London, Chicago, Tokyo, Stockholm, and numerous others.

currently, TIFF is leading the film market and cultural focus, and it’s justified since numerous anticipated series and films of 2024 are being showcased in Toronto. We’ve rounded up the most promising movies from the festival. While some titles have more definite potential than others (Anora, Cloud, Disclaimer, Faithless, Kill the Jockey, M – Son of the Century, The End, Presence, The Life of Chuck, The Listeners, We Live in Time), all of these films deserve attention from movie enthusiasts. It’s worth mentioning that descriptions for some films were provided by the skilled programmers at TIFF, and their names are noted accordingly.

40 Acres

(Dir. R.T. Thorne, The Porter, The Lake)

In a future after a catastrophic collapse of food supply, the last descendants of a Black farming family who immigrated to Canada following the American Civil War struggle to safeguard their homestead against an aggressive militia determined to seize their land.

Do You Have Any Testimony? narrates the journey of a mother and daughter in a future scenario where significant sacrifices are necessary to sustain life on Earth. The planet’s resources have been depleted by electronic waste and overpopulation, leading to an anthropogenic breakdown. To cope with this, technological advancements are avoided.

His latest work is the action-packed thriller “Cloud“, which follows Ryosuke Yoshii (Masaki Suda), a worker in Tokyo who supplements his income by selling items online under an alias.

Conclave

Dahomey

(Dir. Mati Diop, Atlantics)

“For centuries, the Kingdom of Dahomey, within the borders of modern-day Benin, was a central cultural meeting point in West Africa, a site of European colonial conquest and the transatlantic slave trade. In 1892, the French invaded and looted hundreds of treasures from the royal palace, alongside thousands of other works. Following years of appeals and reports, in 2021 an agreement was made for several of these artworks to be returned from France to Benin. French-Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop was granted access to the multipartite process.

Exploring the journey of 26 royal artifacts, once housed at the Musée du quai Branly in Paris, from their packaging, overseas transportation to Cotonou, evaluation, and unveiling, Diop meticulously details the physical and logistical aspects. However, his work also stirs echoes of displacement’s past. Immersed in a dreamlike, disconnected narration (utilizing a Fon-speaking bronze figure) and haunting melodies by Dean Blunt and Wally Badarou, the film thoughtfully points to unresolved chapters of colonial growth and exploitation.

Do I Know You From Somewhere

(Dir. Arianna Martinez)

A devoted pair encounters a gradual dissolution of their lives, not due to any specific actions, but because the narrative of their past seems to be erasing. In essence, yet somewhat figuratively. The initial film from Fredericton director Arianna Martinez is more felt than explained. It’s a cinematic exploration without a single special effect, if one doesn’t consider the actors as such. Several years post their first encounter — at a wedding, naturally — Olive (Caroline Bell) and Benny (Ian Ottis Goff) are passing an everyday day at their lakeside home. However, normalcy fades when subtle changes begin to occur.

Yet, a romance unexpectedly sprouts. However, their budding relationship is put to the test when a mysterious illness starts to sweep across the globe, causing those infected to fuse with whatever they touch.

Emilia Pérez

(Dir. Jacques Audiard, A Prophet)

Experiencing Jacques Audiard’s latest masterpiece feels like a thrilling symphony of pop opera, narco thriller, and affirming gender drama. As Emilia Pérez, I embark on an exhilarating journey where crime, redemption, and karma intersect. With fearless performances from Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, and the exceptional Karla Sofía Gascón, our ensemble earned the Best Actress award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, making it a cinematic experience not to be missed.

Originally developed from Ingmar Bergman’s original script, the miniseries titled “Faithless” delves into the life of Marianne (Frida Gustavsson, known for her role in Vikings: Valhalla), a contented actress who is married to Markus (August Wittgenstein, recognized from The Crown). The arrival of Markus’ friend David (Gustav Lindh, famous for his work in Queen of Hearts) during a summer stay sets the stage for a blossoming attraction between Marianne and David. This romantic entanglement ultimately leads to profound emotional repercussions that span several decades. By being presented as a series rather than a film, Faithless provides a broader perspective on the far-reaching consequences of this affair.

Forty years have passed, and David and Marianne, who are still dealing with the aftermath of their intense relationship, come back together. In this adaptation, David is portrayed by the seasoned Danish actor Jesper Christensen (Casino Royale), while Lena Endre, a Swedish actress, reprises her role as Marianne, as she did in the initial film.

This is the predicament that Thomas Vinterberg, an Oscar-nominated director, along with co-writer Bo Hr.

This seemingly routine extortion will prove to be the least of their worries.

Friendship

(Dir. Andrew DeYoung, Our Flag Means Death)

As a movie critic, I found myself captivated by the tale of an ordinary suburban father named Craig Waterman (Tim Robinson), whose tranquil existence was disrupted by the arrival of his enigmatic neighbor, Austin Carmichael (Paul Rudd). Our heroes’ friendship appeared to flourish on a whimsical night of city exploration, punk rock music, and shared admiration for ancient artifacts from the Stone Age. However, what could have been the foundation of a profound bond took an unexpected turn as Craig’s fixation started to drive Austin away, setting off a downward spiral that puts Craig’s entire life at risk.

Heretic

(Dir. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, 65, Haunt)

Darkly amusing and often humorous, the chamber horror film ‘Heretic’ by writers-directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (known for their work on ‘A Quiet Place’) explores how a casual conversation about religion can take a sinister turn. Featuring a standout performance from Hugh Grant in an unconventional role, this wickedly blasphemous story revolves around the struggle of deeply held beliefs.

As a devoted filmgoer, I’d rephrase it like this: “Me, being a passionate follower of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, along with my fellow sister missionaries Sister Paxton and Sister Barnes, are spreading joy and knowledge door to door. On our list for the day was the tranquil suburban abode of Mr. Reed (Grant). He greeted us not just politely but warmly, showing a keen interest in our faith’s history and teachings.

While most people seem oblivious to this anomaly, Hank Wallace (Brandon Routh), who was once a promising high-school football player and is now an unlucky science teacher, and his intelligent student Grace (Malina Weissman) are among the few who take notice. Discover more about Ick and catch screenings here.

It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This

(Dir. Nick Toti and Rachel Kempf)

Nick Toti and Rachel Kempf are deeply into horror films, so when they discover that the rundown duplex they’ve recently purchased seems to have a haunted past, they can hardly contain their excitement. What makes it even more chilling is that their home in Missouri starts drawing in mysterious, spellbound strangers who gather ominously on the front lawn in larger numbers day by day. The situation only grows more unsettling and terrifying as time goes on.

As a film enthusiast, I can’t help but notice something truly unique about this found-footage horror. Unlike other independent films in its genre, it boasts an extraordinary sense of authenticity, achieved by incorporating over two decades of real-life footage that chronicles the relationship between Nick and Rachel. The line between documentary and terror becomes increasingly blurred as the eerie supernatural events unfold, juxtaposed against the raw vulnerability of its subjects, making it a must-watch for any horror connoisseur.

M – Son of the Century

(Dir. Joe Wright, Atonement, The Darkest Hour)

In the backdrop of the growing influence of right-wing populist governments and authoritarian leaders, renowned director Joe Wright has transformed Antonio Scurati’s novel M.

Post World War I, Mussolini found an opportunity to further his political aspirations by appealing to disheartened soldiers. These veterans, initially hailed as heroes, were instead met with disdain upon their return home. Desperate for recognition and understanding, they gravitated towards Mussolini, forming a volatile faction of extreme nationalists. This group eventually evolved into the National Fascist Party.

Meet the Barbarians

(Dir. Julie Delpy, Two Days in Paris)

As a movie critic, I found myself in the quaint, age-old town of Paimpont, nestled in the heart of Brittany. Priding itself on its rich heritage, mouthwatering crêpes, and self-admiration, the town council was eagerly anticipating the arrival of Ukrainian refugees. However, upon the arrival of a van one day, it became evident that France had already accommodated more than enough Ukrainian families, leaving our Syrian refugee family as an unexpected houseguest. An awkward situation indeed.

In a traditional village, the Fayad family, newly arrived, are testing established norms, prompting everyone to question their initial opinions. Will the local entrepreneur maintain his prejudiced stance? Can the Fayads reconcile their experiences from war-torn Syria with their current struggles in Paimpont? Might the town’s progressive champion succumb to small-mindedness herself? Julie Delpy’s latest film is a timeless tale of cultural assimilation, filled with comedic twists and turns.

Millers in Marriage

(Dir. Edward Burns, Beneath the Blue Suburban Skies)

“Millers in Marriage” – A poignant drama series that delves into the complexities of long-term relationships and the potential for self-transformation, all while boasting a remarkable ensemble cast.

Her husband, Scott (played by Patrick Wilson), channeled his energy into his music, often accompanying it with excessive drinking.

Meanwhile, my sister Maggie (Julianna Margulies) is growing increasingly frustrated with her husband Nick (Campbell Scott).

Jeremie is alluring yet shrouded in mystery, causing discomfort among the locals as he stays longer with widow Martine (Catherine Frot), further unnerving the townsfolk.

Riff Raff

Titled “Riff Raff“, this darkly humorous film showcases an exceptional cast led by Ed Harris, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Coolidge, Bill Murray, Pete Davidson, Lewis Pullman, and others.

As they prepare for a tranquil New Year’s Eve at their countryside home, the arrival of Vince’s estranged son Rocco, accompanied by his girlfriend Marina and ex-wife Ruth, disrupts the harmony. The reunion is far from joyous as Ruth exhibits disrespectful behavior, while Rocco, who never abandoned the family business, seems to harbor something ominous and secretive.

Right behind Rocco is Lefty, an older mafia member seeking revenge for his own son’s matter. When Lefty confronts Vince’s large family, it appears that family ties may lead to bloodshed.

The Shrouds

The Shrouds” is arguably the most poignant film directed by David Cronenberg, marked by profound sadness. The loss of his wife Carolyn in 2017 serves as the underlying theme, subtly infusing each scene with a haunting melancholy.

In this movie, Cassel portrays Karsh, a tech innovator who, like Cronenberg, is grappling with the death of his wife Becca (Diane Kruger), four years prior. He has immersed himself in work, developing technologically advanced burial garments that allow family members to witness the decomposition of their deceased loved ones.

However, when I discover that my wife’s grave, among others, has been desecrated in what appears to be an act of vandalism, I plunge headfirst into a crisis. This situation grows increasingly complex as it involves Becca’s doppelganger, Terry (also Kruger), her former spouse Maury (Guy Pearce), and eventually Soo-Min (Sandrine Holt), the mysterious wife of a dying Hungarian tycoon who intends to establish one of my cemeteries in Budapest.

Simultaneously, in Montreal, Matthew, a government worker portrayed by Rankin himself, quits his loathed job and catches the first bus back home to Manitoba to visit his mother.

William Tell

(Dir. Nick Hamm, The Journey, Driven)

In a different wording: “Isn’t it true that they no longer create them as they once did? This modern movie adaptation of the timeless hero’s story is an absolute joy to behold, filled with courage, dignity, and thrilling battles. In the year 1307, a ruthless Austrian Hapsburg king (played by Sir Ben Kingsley) takes control over the neighboring Swiss cantons. His tax collectors mistreat and abuse the locals, pushing one farmer to contemplate violent retribution. Fleeing across a vast terrain, this farmer encounters only one man willing to help him: William Tell (portrayed by Claes Bang).

I’ve recently returned home, weary from my battles alongside the Knights Templar in the Holy Land. All I yearn for now is a tranquil life with the woman I met there (Golshifteh Farahani). Yet, my principles bind me tightly. When the corruption of the Hapsburg court pushes me too far, I find myself reaching for my weapons and riding off to battle once more. The visuals are vivid, the pace is swift, and the exceptional cast, featuring Rafe Spall and Jonathan Pryce, delve deeply into their roles. And that iconic scene where I’m compelled to shoot an apple off my son’s head with a crossbow is every bit as compelling as you might imagine.

Without Blood

(Dir. Angelina Jolie, Unbroken, By the Sea)

As a film enthusiast, I’ve always admired Angelina Jolie for her directorial prowess. Stepping away from her glamorous on-screen persona, she’s become a master of crafting profound dramas that shed light on the devastating effects of war experienced by individuals. Movies like “In the Land of Blood and Honey” (2011) and “First They Killed My Father” (2017) have been particularly impactful, as they delve deeper into the heart-wrenching impact of war on women and girls in Bosnia and Cambodia. Now, with “Without Blood“, Angelina is revisiting this often overlooked theme in war cinema. This time, she’s directing another iconic actress, Salma Hayek Pinault.

Decades following a heinous act during wartime, I, finding myself at a lottery stand, strike up what appears to be an ordinary chat with Tito (Demián Bichir). However, fate seems to have orchestrated our meeting. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes evident that vengeance lingers like a haunting specter, manifesting in various ways. Our dialogue, captured at Rome’s legendary Cinecittà studios, unravels an intimate tale of how war leaves an indelible mark on those it touches, long after the guns fall silent.” (A fan’s perspective)

Young Werther

(Dir. José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço)

18th-century novel “The Sorrows of Young Werther” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe centers around the themes of wit and unrequited love, and these elements are brilliantly modernized and humorously recreated in this contemporary retelling, set in present-day Toronto. In this version, Douglas Booth portrays Werther who temporarily halts his European journey to retrieve a statue but finds himself enamored with Charlotte (Alison Pill), delaying his departure until he can win her heart. His affection for her deepens as they spend more time together.

A minor obstacle to their union arises, as Charlotte is already betrothed to the accomplished lawyer Albert (Patrick J. Adams). The charming portrayals of Booth, Pill, and the entire cast make Young Werther an impressive feat, managing to maintain the relevance of Goethe’s somber and thought-provoking work in a lighthearted and amusing romantic comedy suitable for contemporary viewers.
