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 <em>Hamnet</em> and <em>Obsession</em>.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">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 <em>Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother</em>, <em>The Only Living Pickpocket in New York</em>, and a gigantic Elon Musk documentary, and even a few streaming series like <em>Crystal Lake</em> and <em>Carrie</em>.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can keep up with my thoughts on everything I watch right here.</p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/994596/musk-documentary-review-tiff-2026">The four-hour-long Elon Musk documentary might be preaching to the choir</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/994393/your-mother-your-mother-your-mother-review-tiff-2026">Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother will make you forget all about Marvel’s Blade disaster</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/994314/tiff-2026-wildwood-stuffed-julian">Laika’s stop-motion fantasy Wildwood looks so smooth</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/993875/tiff-2026-the-only-living-pickpocket-in-new-york">New York City’s last pickpocket doesn’t need a smartphone</a> </li> </ul>
