Iñárritu made an even more baby-brained version of Don't Look Up. An incredibly boring movie with political commentary that could only impress a simpleton. My ★ review of Digger (2026) on @letterboxd: boxd.it/gBpSlD)

A ★ review of Digger (2026)

No one saw Alejandro G. Iñárritu's last film Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths. I did. It's a film that opens up with a baby being delivered. The baby decides to crawl back into the womb. ...

I really dug Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! A quiet look on lost love and the lust for new love and the jealousy and grief that is intertwined with those feelings. Rinko Kikuchi is wonderful in subtle expressions and fantastical movements in some fantasy dance sequences

i'm not saying it executes this cleanly, but the overarching theme is pretty clearly and obviously "your ancestry does not define you". it's not lacking for something to say.

The Chinese drama A Girl Unknown is a devastating and quiet slowburn about a girl who is bounced around families due to China’s one-child policy. I found it really effecting and really liked how it was shot

Disappointed by the Italian film Idda. It looks pretty and has some nifty bits of sound design. The central relationship between the two friends is just not that interesting and some developments are just laughable

Brian Wishart @bwishart.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Letterboxd stats are interesting because I now feel like such a bad cinephile that I have seen more 2026 movies than 1960s movies but I also have seen far too many 2026 films than any mere mortal should.

And that’s a wrap for #TIFF26 for me. 46 movies at the festival and 23 screeners. 69 movies total. Nice

Brian Wishart @bwishart.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Closed out my #TIFF26 with the miscalibrated rom-com All That She Wants. Cooper Raiff’s character is so passive that no real authentic romantic chemistry or drama can be achieved. I have never believed in the “won’t they” have a rom-com less

I felt a profound sadness watching the Our Lady Peace megafan documentary Gail. It’s a really good portrait on loneliness and how music and parasocial relationships can be a balm.

Brian Wishart @bwishart.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Rogue Trooper is as boring as it is hideous to look at. Duncan Jones made a movie that feels like an Xbox 360 cutscene you can’t skip. The worst movie I have seen at TIFF

HALF is a mean and bloody vampire revenge thriller. Incredible action choreography and kills. Had a blast

The queer coded animated movie Julián from Cartoon Saloon is really charming. Very vibrant and expressive animation in a film all about expressing yourself.

The Heart of the South has a lot of ideas about indigenous struggles but doesn’t really make a thematically cohesive movie out of it.

Brian Wishart @bwishart.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I’ve always been a fan of Scoot McNairy and The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd is a great showcase of his talents. I just wish it was a better movie

Brian Wishart @bwishart.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Possible Love is stunning. Epic in length, small in scope and thematically ambitious. This treatise on labour and capitalism may be of interest for those looking with similar ideas as Parasite

The Assassin(s) is a thrilling journalism political thriller about the attempted assassination of the South Korean president in the 70s. A little long, but fun. Loved the journalism angle of it so much

I had my first experience with Radu Jude today with Diary of a Chambermaid. Incredible movie about a Romanian immigrant in France who struggles to balance work with being a long-distanced mother to a young girl.
