TIFF 2026: The latest movie reviews from Toronto
TIFF 2026:多伦多电影节最新影评
If you want an idea of what’s next in film, the Toronto International Film Festival is a good place to start. Every year TIFF features a huge range of features from around the world, and often some of them go on to be huge hits or awards contenders; the 2025 edition, for instance, included the likes of both Hamnet and Obsession. 如果你想了解电影界的下一个风向标,多伦多国际电影节(TIFF)是一个很好的起点。每年 TIFF 都会展映来自世界各地的大量影片,其中许多作品后来都成为了热门大片或奖项的有力竞争者;例如 2025 年的电影节就包括了《哈姆内特》(Hamnet)和《痴迷》(Obsession)等佳作。
Covering a sprawling festival like TIFF solo is next to impossible, so I do my best to see as much as I can, and then write about everything with bite-sized reviews published each day. For 2026, that means exciting upcoming films like Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, and a gigantic Elon Musk documentary, and even a few streaming series, like Crystal Lake and Carrie. 独自报道像 TIFF 这样规模宏大的电影节几乎是不可能的,所以我尽我所能多看一些电影,然后每天撰写简短的影评。对于 2026 年来说,这意味着一些令人兴奋的即将上映的电影,如《你母亲你母亲你母亲》(Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother)、《纽约最后一个活着的扒手》(The Only Living Pickpocket in New York),以及一部关于埃隆·马斯克的巨型纪录片,甚至还有《水晶湖》(Crystal Lake)和《魔女嘉莉》(Carrie)等流媒体剧集。
The four-hour-long Elon Musk documentary might be preaching to the choir
四小时长的埃隆·马斯克纪录片可能只是在向信徒布道
It makes sense that Musk is a long film. The latest from Alex Gibney, who has previously directed documentaries about Theranos and Steve Jobs, is an impressively thorough retelling of the story of Elon Musk, from his early days as a dot-com millionaire to “taking a wood chipper” to vital US government departments. In order to understand Musk’s rise to power, you need to know the whole story. Musk tells it compellingly and convincingly, but doesn’t offer much in the way of revelations if you’re aware of Musk’s catastrophic influence on the world. For everyone else, a demanding runtime just shy of four hours might prove too much of a barrier to being convinced. 《马斯克》这部电影篇幅很长,这在情理之中。这是亚历克斯·吉布尼(Alex Gibney)的最新力作,他此前曾执导过关于 Theranos 公司和史蒂夫·乔布斯的纪录片。这部影片极其详尽地重述了埃隆·马斯克的故事,从他早年作为互联网百万富翁的经历,到他如何对美国重要政府部门进行“粉碎式”改革。为了理解马斯克的崛起,你需要了解整个故事。《马斯克》讲述得引人入胜且令人信服,但如果你已经意识到马斯克对世界造成的灾难性影响,那么这部片子并没有提供太多新的启示。对于其他人来说,接近四小时的严苛时长可能成为他们被说服的一大障碍。
Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother will make you forget all about Marvel’s Blade disaster
《你母亲你母亲你母亲》会让你彻底忘记漫威《刀锋战士》的灾难
Marvel’s mishandling of its Blade reboot will likely go down as one of the studio’s biggest mistakes. There was a great actor in place to play the vampire hunter (Mahershala Ali), and a promising director set to take over the reins (Bassam Tariq). In retrospect, though, the disappointing demise of Blade might not be such a bad thing, because Tariq and Ali have collaborated on something much more interesting than a superhero reboot: the powerful hitman thriller Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother. 漫威对《刀锋战士》重启版的处理不当,很可能会成为该工作室最大的失误之一。原本有一位出色的演员(马赫沙拉·阿里)来扮演这位吸血鬼猎人,还有一位很有前途的导演(巴萨姆·塔里克)准备接手。然而回过头来看,《刀锋战士》令人失望的夭折或许并非坏事,因为塔里克和阿里合作了一部比超级英雄重启版更有趣的作品:强有力的杀手惊悚片《你母亲你母亲你母亲》。
Laika’s stop-motion fantasy Wildwood looks so smooth
莱卡工作室的定格动画奇幻片《荒野林》看起来非常流畅
Even if you don’t know the name Laika, you probably know the studio’s work; it’s the animation house behind stop-motion hits like ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, and Kubo and the Two Strings. Over the years Laika’s films have steadily gotten more impressive on both a technical and artistic level. Which brings us to the incredible-looking Wildwood, hitting theaters next month. 即使你不知道莱卡(Laika)这个名字,你也可能看过该工作室的作品;它是《通灵男孩诺曼》、《怪诞小箱怪》和《魔弦传说》等定格动画热门影片背后的动画制作公司。多年来,莱卡的作品在技术和艺术层面上都稳步提升,令人印象深刻。这让我们不得不提到下个月即将上映、看起来令人惊叹的《荒野林》(Wildwood)。
New York City’s last pickpocket doesn’t need a smartphone
纽约市最后的扒手不需要智能手机
The festival, better known as TIFF, is always a great preview of the months ahead in film, with a nice mix of mainstream fare, awards contenders, indie surprises, and genre flicks destined to be cult classics. The streamers also love to make their presence felt here, previewing some of their most anticipated projects. 这个电影节(即 TIFF)总是未来几个月电影市场的绝佳预演,融合了主流大片、奖项竞争者、独立电影惊喜以及注定成为邪典经典的类型片。流媒体平台也喜欢在这里展示他们的存在感,预告他们最受期待的项目。
