Best and Worst of the 2011 Toronto Film Festival: 'Shame,' 'Your Sister's Sister,' 'Wuthering Heights'
Where do ''Ides of March,' 'The Raid,' 'Twixt' fit in?
Best: "Take This Waltz"
Director: Sarah Polley
Cast: Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Luke Kirby, Sarah Silverman
Why: The scene in the dark with The Buggles blasting, which is such a perfect, gorgeous, communicative moment that it feels like something I actually remember, like it's my moment now. It sums up everything about what makes me love Polley's voice as a filmmaker, the emotional quality of her work that speaks so directly to me. Great stuff.

The trailer just piles on the quirk so oppressively. He's got an imaginary friend! She's got cancer (and the requisite pixie hair)! They like to lie side by side so their heads are touching! Embrace life!
Gah. I haven't been so immediately turned off by a preview since the Zookeeper.
