  • TIFF Review: “Long Long Night”
    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    September 20, 2026
    Long Long Night (Youm Kyu-Bock, 2026) 3½ out of 5 stars South Korean director Youm Kyu-Bock’s debut feature, Long Long Night, is an adaptation of a 2021 prize-winning children’s book that was later turned into a stage musical.

    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    September 16, 2026
    The new documentary Re/Pair, from director Lacey Schwartz Delgado, features a series of conversations between Black and Jewish Americans on the topic of tensions and solidarity between their respective groups.
