Chilling documentary NAZA offers behind-the-scenes portrait of Israel’s war machine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor Opens at the TIFF Lightbox in Toronto and Metro Cinema in Edmonton Oct. 2, expanding to other cities throughout October “You can see the city, but the city can’t see you.” So says documentarian Yuval Abraham as he ushers a member of the Israeli Defense Forces onto a Tel Aviv rooftop, where the intelligence officer – his face shrouded in the darkness of the night sky, his voice digitally altered – will divulge how his country has systematically murdered t
Tom Cruise gets buried alive in Iñárritu’s obnoxiously preening satire Digger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Written by Alejandro González Iñárritu, Alexander Dinelaris, Nicolas Giacobone and Sabina Berman Starring Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed and John Goodman There is a moment in Digger, the new Tom Cruise vehicle directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, in which almost every living, breathing, half-thinking moviegoer will groan deeply, throw their hands up in the air, and come face to face with the intense, unblinking urge to flee the theatre not just for the evening, but forever.

To portray, say, a luxurious dinner in Los Angeles with Kim Kardashian as the harshly lit gathering of sycophants that it really is. Or to unearth the flop-sweat anxiety of frayed nerves and bad skin that backgrounds the ostensibly glitzy environs of the Emmy Awards. But such are the unrivalled talents of documentarian John Wilson, who has been gifted with an eye for strippi
Primetime’s Robert Pattinson delivers the performance of the year in sharp, sickening media satire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Starring Robert Pattinson, Merritt Wever and Skyler Gisondo Is it possible to feel good about getting sick to your stomach? That is one of the many queasy questions viewers of the excellent but nauseating new satirical thriller Primetime will be compelled to contemplate as director Lance Oppenheim and his star Robert Pattinson take you on a guided tour of humanity’s very worst instincts, in which all roads lead to a kind of sweeps-week hell that rivals Dante’s Inferno for divinely sick comedy.
