RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 02/10/2026No cinema trips this weekend as I'm off to Montreal for a bachelor party, but I look forward to catching up with Digger & Resident Evil. So many Fall flicks: The Social Reckoning, Remain, and The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. Oh, and it's October—Happy Spooky Season to all who celebrate! 🎃 051

RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 27/09/2026THE WEIGHT – I was excited to see this but felt let down. Occasionally rousing and well choreographed, but it kept reminding me of better films: THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE, THE WAGES OF FEAR, and especially SORCERER. I wanted a lean, mean thriller rather than forced attempts at profundity. 📽️ 010
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I’ll never forget seeing this in 2009 at the now-defunct AMC Kennedy Commons 20 and asking the guy at the ticket booth for two tickets to TWO LOVERS. He glanced over, noticed I was going to be seeing it with another gentleman, and then laughed. The ’00s, man. Good motion picture. 000

RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Exiting #TIFF26 on an appropriately disarming note with BUCKING FASTARD - a film that felt like something I hallucinated on Day 11, but also exactly the kind of strange detour I’d expect from Herzog. The Mara sisters were mesmerizing in sync. 📽️ 050
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Closing out #TIFF26 with BUCKING FASTARD, directed by Werner Herzog. 📽️ 062
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This year's TIFF People's Choice Winner. This is your Oscar Best Picture Frontrunner. #TIFF26 📽️ 241
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 20/09/2026WILD HORSE NINE - Wrestling with my reaction, but I managed to get there largely on the strength of John Malkovich & Sam Rockwell. I remain less convinced by McDonagh transposing his male-friendship preoccupations to the American West against Chile’s 1973 coup. Liked it, with reservations. #TIFF26 📽️ 031

RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 19/09/2026THE DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID - Damn. I expected Radu Jude to bring his trademark profane, keenly observant humor to this. What I didn’t expect was just how affecting it would be. 126 years later, Mirbeau’s tale of class division feels less like history than an increasingly obscene punchline. #TIFF26 📽️ 042
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Any guesses for this year’s TIFF People’s Choice winner? Based on the audience reaction to LA BOLA NEGRA last night, I’d say it’s very much a candidate - and at least a lock for the International People’s Choice Award. #TIFF26 📽️ 020
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Day 10 of #TIFF26: • THE DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID (dir. Radu Jude) • ARRESTED MEMORY (dir. SABU) • WILD HORSE NINE (dir. Martin McDonagh) 📽️ 010
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 19/09/2026LA BOLA NEGRA (THE BLACK BALL) - A sweeping, maximalist queer epic that bypassed my critical circuitry and went straight for the heart. Gorgeous, overflowing, emotional filmmaking - the excess is the point & I loved it. The stranger beside me and I stayed behind, gushing about its beauty. #TIFF26 📽️ 041
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 19/09/2026More to say about this motion picture soon, but… I think I just saw 2027’s Oscar Best Picture winner. 📽️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRHt...youtube.comLA BOLA NEGRA | Official Teaser | NetflixYouTube video by Netflix 010
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 19/09/2026POSSIBLE LOVE - Folks, this flick is going to be major. Loosely connected a chapter of DEKALOG, this masterfully observed tale features my favorite lead performance of 2026. Jeon Do-yeon’s face says everything. A sharp study of desire and how, no matter our class, we’ll always want more. #TIFF26 📽️ 073
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 18/09/2026#MyLastFourWatched indicates I’m having a great #TIFF26 so far. And I suspect these 4-star ratings may climb - they’ve been bouncing around in my head. I’m just hesitant to hand out immediate 4.5s/5s. 📽️ 1121
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Day 9723 of #TIFF26: • POSSIBLE LOVEA (dir. Lee Chang-dong) • LA BOLA NEGRA (dirs. Javier Ambrossi & Javier Calvo) 000
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 18/09/2026WOMAN UNKNOWN - A rich, layered, exquisitely directed post-WWII thriller about secrets, survival, and gendered punishment. Difficult to revisit but impossible to shake, it lingers through devastating images and thoughtful questions about who society chooses to shame, protect, and forgive. #TIFF26 📽️ 051
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 17/09/2026SOUMSOUM, THE NIGHT OF THE STARS - One of the great pleasures of international cinema is its transportive quality. I may never visit Chad, but this enchanting film offered me a glimpse of that world, while introducing me to this idea of the mountainous landscapes becoming keepers of souls. #TIFF26 📽️ 010
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Day 8 of #TIFF26: Caught up on some much needed zzz. • SOUMSOUM, THE NIGHT OF THE STARS (dir. Mahamat-Saleh Haroun) • WOMAN UNKNOWN (dir. May el-Toukhy) 000
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 17/09/2026MINOTAUR – Andrey Zvyagintsev returns after nine years and transposes his marital-strife tale against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. An austere, icily chilled portrait of how the personal can never be separated from the political. One of the most dread-filled highlights of #TIFF26. 📽️ 021
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 17/09/2026EVERYTIME – Starts out as a gentle family drama reminiscent of AFTERSUN, then becomes something downright Lynchian. Bizarre, unexplainable, utterly hypnotic. Could I pass a test on this? Absolutely not. Was I held in its spell? Absolutely. A movie that’s going to stay in my brain forever. #TIFF26 📽️ 160
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 17/09/2026LOOK BACK - Hirokazu Kore-eda, cinema’s greatest humanist, cracked my heart open once again. A gentle, lovely gift about friendship, creativity, manga, and the moments that become the memories we carry forever. I’m not a 😢 viewer but Kore-eda knows how to give me an emotional workout. #TIFF26 📽️ 170

RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 16/09/2026HOW WE STAND - Admired the film for its attempt to color outside the lines. Adapted by Marie Clements from her own play, it confronts recent Indigenous history while striving to be genuinely cinematic, especially in its leaps toward magical realism. Mileage will vary, but I admired it. #TIFF26 📽️ 041
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 16/09/2026ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM - One of the most memorable films of 2026 was… made in 1972? So it is. A miracle of preservation, dropping us into Duke Ellington’s house as Harlem Renaissance luminaries debate, converse & get a little tipsy. My, what conversation. And what a cultural treasure. #TIFF26 📽️ 050
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 16/09/2026BITTER CHRISTMAS - My most anticipated film of #TIFF26 may not have lived up to my sky-high expectations, but any new Pedro Almodóvar movie is a vibrant, must-see event (even if minor). A fascinating exploration of creativity’s destructive nature and the cost of turning others’ lives into art. 📽️ 060
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 15/09/2026BUNKER - Florian Zeller’s 1st film was THE FATHER. Then he made THE SON. The Holy Spirit has all but abandoned him in this marriage story about literal bunkers and metaphorical bunkers. And in case we didn’t get the metaphor, the married-in-real-life couple makes sure we do again & again. #TIFF26 📽️ 120

RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 15/09/2026THE DREAMED ADVENTURE - Wish it was titled ONCE UPON A TIME IN BULGARIA. An epic western crime film built around a massive inversion. Think TAKEN but it's the middle-aged man who disappears & a middle-aged woman who initiates the rescue mission. In the most laid-back way. Still simmering. #TIFF26 📽️ 130
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 15/09/2026LA GRADIVA - One of the great discoveries I’ve had in ~ two decades of attending the fest. A fully in-command debut from Marine Atlan, who brings a cinematographer’s eye to an observed story of teenage desire, uncertainty and self-discovery. Even at 150 mins, I wasn’t ready for it to end. #TIFF26 📽️ 032
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Oh wow, TIFF really went all out for me with this screening. Props. #TIFF26 030
RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 14/09/2026ELSINORE - Still working through my feelings, but one thing is indisputable: Andrew Scott is tremendous in the role of a lifetime as Ian Charleston, battling AIDS while preparing to play Hamlet in the final weeks of his life. Wish the film around him were as brilliant as his performance. #TIFF26 📽️ 280

RoseJerry’s Baby @jeratthemovies.bsky.social · 13/09/2026JOSEPHINE - The first great film I’ve seen at #TIFF26. Never want to see it again; been an hour since the screening ended & I still can’t shake its raw brutality. Staying entirely within the 8-year-old’s POV makes its portrait of a child failed by every avenue of protection devastatingly powerful. 📽️ 081
