Welcome to the Jungle, the third Welcome comedy, drops a veteran ensemble into a jungle film-shoot caper that sprawls over 170 minutes without finding its tone.
Yellow Letters is İlker Çatak's Golden Bear-winning drama about two Ankara theatre artists punished by the state, gripping at first and more schematic later.
Young Washington is Jon Erwin's French and Indian War origin story for George Washington, anchored by a confident William Franklyn-Miller but short on nuance.
Rangkuman ulasan TIFF yang positif: Mahershala Ali memimpin perpaduan thriller aksi, duka keluarga, dan pergulatan iman yang berani, meski respons terhadap temanya beragam.
Critics largely welcomed 28 Years Later as a bold, strange and often moving return for Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, though several found its lurching tone and sequel-minded ending uneven.
Most critics found A Minecraft Movie a loud, formulaic video-game adaptation redeemed only in patches by Jared Hess's oddball humour, Jason Momoa and Jennifer Coolidge, though a few called it a charming family romp.
Critics praised A Silent Voice as a tender, visually inventive drama about bullying, guilt and redemption, though several found its condensed manga plot crowded and its deaf heroine too passive.
★★★★½
Abang Adik is Jin Ong's Malaysian drama about two undocumented brothers in Kuala Lumpur, a devastating, superbly acted portrait of love on society's margins.
★★★★½
Makbul Mubarak's Autobiography is a chilling Indonesian thriller about a young man in the service of a retired general: a slow-burn study of power and complicity.
Critics were divided on Avatar: Fire and Ash: nearly all admired James Cameron's spectacle and Oona Chaplin's villain, but many found its story an overlong retread of The Way of Water.
★★★★★
Bad Genius is Nattawut Poonpiriya's Thai thriller about a gifted student who turns exam cheating into a business, staged with all the tension of a great heist film.
★★½☆☆
Behind the Scenes is Funke Akindele's record-breaking Nollywood drama about a generous businesswoman and the people using her. Relatable, but heavy-handed.
Critics found Bring Her Back a deeply disturbing horror film about grief, lifted by a chilling Sally Hawkins, though several felt its plotting and finale were looser than its atmosphere.
Critics praised Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons in Bugonia, Yorgos Lanthimos's dark kidnap comedy, but split over whether the film says anything new or simply revels in its own cruelty.
★★★★☆
Cake is Asim Abbasi's Karachi family drama about siblings reunited to care for ageing parents, led by superb work from Aamina Sheikh and Sanam Saeed.
★★★★☆
City of Men is Paulo Morelli's warm, tense favela drama about two best friends facing fatherhood and a gang war, a worthy companion to City of God.
Critics broadly enjoyed Companion as a nimble, darkly funny sci-fi thriller carried by Sophie Thatcher, though several found its satire of relationships and technology fairly shallow.
Critics admired Dead Poets Society for Robin Williams's restrained performance, its young cast and Peter Weir's atmospheric direction, while noting predictable conflicts; a later critique questions its idea of teaching.
Critics split on Deadpool & Wolverine: some hailed a brisk, very funny team-up that revives Marvel, while others found it an overstuffed, self-satisfied parade of in-jokes and multiverse lore.
Critics agreed that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is a visual triumph with thrilling fights, but most found its flashback-heavy, episodic structure long and hard going for anyone new to the series.
Critics largely warmed to Despicable Me as a funny, good-natured family cartoon with an appealing villain and scene-stealing minions, though several found its redemption story familiar and its final stretch formulaic.
★★★★☆
Siccîn is Alper Mestçi's Turkish horror film about a marriage menaced by djinn folklore, and the start of a hit franchise. Culturally rooted scares, familiar tricks.
Most critics saw Final Destination Bloodlines as a gleefully gory, knowingly silly revival of the death-trap series with a standout opening, though its characters and later kills drew complaints.
Critics praised Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein for its lavish Gothic craft and Jacob Elordi's soulful Creature, while many found it overlong, solemn and heavy-handed with its emotions.
