FilmWeek’s Peter Rainer tells you what to watch for coming out of the Toronto International Film Festival

The Toronto International Film Festival draws to a close this Sunday, September 17, and with 255 films screened there’s much to discuss.

This year’s set of films explored concepts ranging from the New York Public Library to a fantastical, aquatic romance, and fortunately FilmWeek critic Peter Rainer was there to catch most of it.

Listen in as Larry and Peter discuss some of TIFF’s standout films, as well as Peter’s encounters with movie legends Judi Dench and Angelina Jolie.  

Guest:

Peter Rainer, film critic for KPCC and the Christian Science Monitor
