Mehek Seyid joins Dakota and Andreas this week as they discuss the Toronto International Film Festival including the big winners and some other must sees. Links: – La La Land was the big winner taking home the People’s Choice award and both Andreas and Mehek are in sync lavishing even more praise on the Oscar front runner. – Jackie was another film both Mehek and Andreas saw with Natalie Portman getting some serious Oscar buzz for a Best Actress win. – Lion was the only film that made Mehek actually cry in the theatre, it’s that powerful! – Moonlight is a film that might sneak up on you and during awards seasons. – Birth of a Nation gets some talk, minus the controversy aspect. – Loving is a film Andreas hopes gets more attention. – Nocturnal Animals is Tom Ford’s second film and is poised to be an attention grabber.
