In our 17th film at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, we break down Roofman — Channing Tatum’s true-crime story about a man hiding out in a Toys “R” Us after a string of robberies. Charming but shallow, this crowd-pleaser plays it safe, skipping deeper questions for easy feel-good moments. We discuss what works, what falls flat, and the strange nostalgia at its core.
