TIFF 2017: ‘The Rider’ Review

Doctors have told him he needs to stop riding, but without the rodeo he doesn’t know […]
TIFF 2017: ‘Happy End’ Review
Michael Haneke’s (The White Ribbon, Amour) latest film is misnomer. There is nothing happy about this movie – and I loved it. The ironically named film is a dark, satirical drama about a seemingly perfect family on the surface, but is actually quite dysfunctional behind closed doors. Seeing Isabelle Huppert and Jean-Louis Trintignant reunited as a […]
