📽Audience REACTIONS at its International PREMIERE:
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄(9 laughs)
😱(1 shock)
😴💤⏳(went long)
Uncut Gems (Benny and Josh Safdie) throws away any attempt at pacing in an over-the-top push to be electrifying. Inappropriate new-age music drowns out a story of risk, capitalism, and gambling addiction. Adam Sandler attempts to move away from his comedic roles into something more serious, but it is difficult to take him seriously. From beginning to end, Sandler's performance is always at the same level, full blast. After 2hrs and 15min of listening to him screaming his lines at top force, I left this screening with a pounding headache. If I was watching it at home instead of it's TIFF premiere, I would not have finished the film. Idina Menzel gave a fantastic performance, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by the chaos. Surprisingly, Kevin Garnett's televised basketball games worked into the film were the only (and much needed) respite from the unfaltering tempo. There is a shock scene near the end of in the film which makes it slightly more palatable. Overall, Uncut Gems is bound to disappoint fans of Adam Sandler's comedy and anyone who appreciates a well-written storyline.

📽Audience REACTIONS at its World PREMIERE:
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄(7 laughs) 😭😢(2 cries) 👏 (1 applause during film!!) 🤓(learn about true events) 🏆(strong Oscar potential for best adapted screenplay)
Just Mercy (Destin Daniel Cretton) is a touching story with an emotional depth and sense of purpose rare in modern films. It's difficult to tell a story so dedicated to a social issue without it seeming belaboured, but this film pulls it off brilliantly. Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx, and Brie Larson beautifully embody real-life characters in this well crafted film. They truly do the story justice. Bryan Stevenson, whose story the film is based on, was at the TIFF screening and the presence of this real-life hero seemed to impact the audience as much as the film had. Everyday people can make the world a better place. Although at times a little slow, Just Mercy is a touching film with great humour and heart.

Seberg (Benedict Andrews) is an affair drama which is an interpretation of a real story. Combining the lead character's professional and personal roles, it explores her personal and relational lives.
Kristen Stewart gives a slightly contrite performance and she seems to have been once again typecast. Thankfully, the supporting cast are there with good performances to make up for the lack of personal connection with the main character. Unfortunately the excellent costume design is not enough to carry the film and will likely be overlooked.
Speaking after a screening at TIFF, the director explained the film is really a story of voyeurism; the addiction and danger of the watcher and watched. Even so, the excitement of surveillance is lost on an emotional contrived performance. #filmreactiviews
