New/Next Review: “OBEX”
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
October 5, 2025
OBEX (Albert Birney, 2025) 4 out of 5 stars The films of director Albert Birney—be they of the live action variety (Strawberry Mansion) or animated (Tux and Fanny)—are always loving tributes to the meticulous process of artistic creation. Each shot within each scene is composed with great consideration, the visual components beautifully coming together while also advancing the story. Such is very much the case with his latest, OBEX, in which ... >>
Heartfelt Spirit Elevates “Good Boy”
By Adam Vaughn
October 3, 2025
Good Boy (Ben Leonberg, 2025) 3 out of 5 stars October launches with a unique horror film centered around one of the most original and adorable lead characters of the genre: a dog! Good Boy (not to be confused with the TIFF 2025-premiering Good Boy reviewed recently by FFT Editor Chris Reed) follows Indy (playing himself), a loving pup who follows human Todd (Shane Jensen) to his grandfather’s secluded—and somewhat ... >>

By George W. Campbell
October 2, 2025
Are We Good? (Steven Feinartz, 2025) 3½ out of 5 stars In the world of modern comedy, few folks have carved out a niche like Marc Maron.

It may seem rude, at first, but after enough time listening to him, you realize it’s all just a form of anxiety. The kind that’s kept people at a distance for years. However, Maron’s willing to make an ... >>
“Boorman and the Devil” Compels You
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
September 26, 2025
Boorman and the Devil (David Kittredge, 2025) 4 out of 5 stars Of this I am certain: one need not be a fan of a movie to enjoy its making-of tale. Especially when that documentary is more than a compendium of trivia, becoming instead a rumination on art and its place in the world. Such is David Kittredge’s Boorman and the Devil, which chronicles the production of one of the worst films I have ever seen, Exorcist II: The Heretic. ... >>
TIFF Review: “A Private Life”
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
September 15, 2025
A Private Life (Rebecca Zlotowski, 2025) 3 out of 5 stars There is one primary reason to see A Private Life, from director Rebecca Zlotowski (Just the Two of Us), and that is Jodie Foster (Nyad), whose riveting performance is further enhanced by the fact that she speaks French throughout. Well, make that two reasons, as Daniel Auteuil (An Ordinary Case), in the role of her ex-husband, is equally compelling. Together, they provide the highlights ... >>
