TIFF ‘22 Coverage: ‘The Fablemans’
'The Fablemans' is Spielberg's most personal work to date, the cast delights audiences at the TIFF premiere.

On a quiet summer night in a bustling city, Art, a passionate singer with a soulful voice, finds himself drawn to a small café where he decides to serenade the crowd. Among the listeners is Jillian, a beautiful woman whose heart is quietly aching for something more. As Art's melodies float through the air, their eyes meet, sparking an unexpected connection. What begins as a chance meeting under the glow of streetlights unfolds into a magical evening filled with laughter, shared stories, and whispered dreams. With every song and every glance, they discover a rare kind of harmony—one that might just bridge the gaps in their lives. But as dawn approaches, they must ask themselves: can this fleeting night of music and romance lead to something lasting, or will it remain a beautiful memory sung only in their hearts?

"First Day" is a trans kid slice-of-life tv show that brings desperately needed diversity to coming-of-age stories in mainstream media. Here's a show that get's it right by having a trans actress in a story centered on trans girlhood.
“Ad Astra” is a film that possesses similar beats to sci-fi classics, falling into the realm of cinematic hypnotism, and pulling us in with its mysteriously intoxicating identity.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
Hokum is an enjoyable horror film that will probably get a little under your skin, but it isn’t the tour de force that you might be expecting.
Tara Thorne’s film is equal parts emotional and comedic, illustrating the beauty and the pain of long term relationships.
