It’s that time of year again. The Toronto International Film Festival is upon us, with this year’s 48th edition running from September 7th to 17th. You can keep it right here for all of my TIFF coverage, including reviews of some of the major titles at this year’s fest. This post will serve as the main hub for all my #TIFF23 coverage, and will be updated as more reviews are added throughout the next eleven days.

You can also follow along on Twitter for my post-screening reactions to films as I see them, and keep track of all the films I’ve watched on my Letterboxd list.
