Seems like Toronto is getting alot of leftovers this year; many of their featured films have already been reviewed over the past week. We'll get a slightly broader range of opinion -- the Schwarz/Gleib tandem will surely do their annual round-up, and the NY Times will at least obliquely comment. But as for what we'll learn that's new this next week...
We'll see if Rabbit Hole is impressive enough to get 1) a distributor and 2) nominations for its Oscar-friendly cast. No US release date, of course, but it's easy enough to get a Christmas booking if critics are kind.
We'll find out if the "British Norma Rae" rumors about Made in Dagenham have any validity, and will that help Sally Hawkins.
We'll find out if Conviction follows the familar Hillary Swank "I guess it's a contender/no, it's a snooze, scratch it" trajectory, or turns out her rare success.
We'll see if Jeff Wells' enthusiasm for Stone is the start of a trend, or one of his Things We Lost in the Fire-style one-offs.
And we'll not only see if there are, but wish for there to be, unheralded surprises. Barney's Version? It's Kind of a Funny Story? Brighton Rock? Something completely from nowhere?
