  • TIFF Review: “Fjord”
    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    September 17, 2026
    Fjord (Cristian Mungiu, 2026) 4½ out of 5 stars Norway is a beautiful country with majestic landscapes, home today to a people steeped in progressive Western European principles, its violent Viking past a distant memory. In Fjord, the latest film from Romanian writer/director Cristian Mungiu (Graduation)—who won his second Cannes Palme d’Or in May of this year—we find ourselves immersed in the life of a small waterside town, following the ... >>

Here is that conversation, edited for length and clarity. ... >>

    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    September 16, 2026
    Phoolan (Richie Mehta, 2026) 4 out of 5 stars Phoolan Devi, known as India’s “Bandit Queen,” may have been assassinated in 2001, but her earlier armed rebellion against the country’s deep-seated misogyny and caste prejudice made of her a star that keeps shining today. In writer/director Richie Mehta’s latest work, Phoolan, she is an unstoppable force to be reckoned with, refusing to accept the terms dictated by her world. Though born ... >>
  • TIFF Review: “Re/Pair”
    By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
    September 14, 2026
    Re/Pair (Lacey Schwartz Delgado, 2026) 4 out of 5 stars I was unaware of a serious rift between Black and Jewish Americans until reading the description for the new documentary Re/Pair, but based on the conversations showcased within, it’s clear that what the two groups have in common should far outweigh their differences. Both have suffered intense discrimination—and, as actors David Schwimmer and Harry Lennix point out, we shouldn’t do an ... >>
