The Toronto
Wrap Up

This year of “pleasant and in the 70s” was both a blessing and a curse. There was not too much at crap at this year’s festival. But there weren’t a great number of films that caused breathless passion either. Perhaps the most unanimously praised film at the festival was Paramount’s School of Rock. And doesn’t that tell you everything that you need to know?

Part I: The Films I Liked
Part II: With Reservations
Part III: Disappointing
Part IV: Sorry To Miss
