Fulfillment, Something Worth Remembering (1969)

Can a homeless yet optimistic teenage girl learn to accept a helping hand?

The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.

These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.

Upon first watch, Buddy feels like it should have been aired on Adult Swim at four in the morning.

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