Wicked Little Town: TIFF 2023

You didn’t really think we were going to go through an entire film festival and never send a postcard home, did you? Silly rabbits… Even though it was a protracted TIFF for me, every second of it was time well spent. From the killer slate of films I saw, to being able to bump into old friends, to just feeling a little bit of buzz in the air again – it was all welcome reminders of “the before times”. That’s not to say that things are perfect down here on Festival Street – far from it, and we dig into thoughts on what’s happening and why within this episode. So as the sun rises on one final day of moviegoing merriment, take a seat with Jolie and I in the shadow of four festival theatres while we talk about all of the ups and downs of ten whole days at the 48th annual Toronto International Film Festival. All of Jolie’s TIFF writing can be found at Toronto Film Files Info on all films – including access to the final day’s in-person screenings can be found at TIFF’s website.
