Relationship Pictures

me-and-earl-and-the-dying-girl-13231-largeBefore we all lose our collective minds over Jurassic World, let’s take a moment to consider all of the other stuff coming to Toronto screens this week, all of which I write about in this week’s NOW.

There’s TIFF Cinematheque’s Luo Li series, which gives a local filmmaker a much-deserved spotlight. And there’s the Italian Contemporary Film Festival, which is, um, not having the best year.

I also talked to some folks! Here’s my interview with Slow West writer-director John Maclean, who was also this week’s guest on Someone Else’s Movie; here, from Hot Docs, is a Q&A with Crystal Moselle, director of The Wolfpack.

And here is a chat with Olivia Cooke and Thomas Mann, a couple of very talented young actors who keep Me and Earl and the Dying Girl from collapsing under the unbearable lightness of its affectations. Seriously, they’re great together. But you can totally wait for the Blu-ray.
