Comments on: TIFF ‘09: What to expect from LiC http://livingincinema.com/2009/09/10/tiff-09/ Movie reviews, news and opinion Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:16:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Craig Kennedy http://livingincinema.com/2009/09/10/tiff-09/comment-page-1/#comment-83657 Craig Kennedy Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:46:52 +0000 http://livingincinema.com/?p=7949#comment-83657 In the case of A Serious Man (screening today), partly I just want to remain in the dark about it. I've seen the poster and the trailer. That's enough. Now I just need to see the movie. A bunch of people whose tastes I don't share (especially when it comes to The Coens) nattering about the movie isn't something I need right now. Most of us have pretty much made up our minds whether or not we want to see it and what Todd McCarthy thinks about it really doesn't matter, does it?

Sometimes it works in reverse, as in the case of THE LIBERTINE, with Johnny Depp, which seemingly was a major hit at that festival only to flounder critically when it opened wide. In that instance I agreed with the Toronto crowd, as THE LIBERTINE is way better than what US critics felt.
