22 Must Watch Movies From The Toronto Film Festival
Empire's films to look out for at TIFF 2012

The Toronto International Film Festival has rapidly established itself as one of the best on the planet. The perfect mix of big names, arthouse fare and no-holds-barred weirdness, against the backdrop of one of our favourite cities, the TIFF – as acronym fans like to call it – is a highlight of the festival calendar. Here, we take a look at a bunch of movies that should be lighting up Scott Pilgrim’s hometown from September 6 onwards.

22 Must Watch Movies From The Toronto Film Festival | Seven Psychopaths

Seven Psychopaths

Another Midnight Madness entry, this hugely anticipated flick sees In Bruges writer-director Martin McDonagh reteam with Colin Farrell for a sweary, meta-textual, blood-soaked comedy thriller set in Hollywood. Farrell, as a writer called Martin who’s working on a script called Seven Psychopaths, heads a mouthwatering cast that includes Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell (who both worked with McDonagh on his stage play, A Behanding In Spokane), Woody Harrelson, Abbie Cornish and Olga Kurylenko. Expect the best dialogue this side of Tarantino, and enough cuss-words to fill up a swear jar.

When will we see it in the UK? December 7.

1 RE:
Isn't Ryan Gosling's latest thriller 'The Place Beyond the Pines' screening? If so, why didn't it make the top 20 list? It's been attracting some seriously good reviews....My must see for 2013. More

A few of these should be good - I'm planning on seeing Looper and many more besides after reading this list. More

5 Great cast + great creative team = unexpected crap
Saw a special preview of "Seven Psychopaths" in New York yesterday, and it turned out to be a huge disappointment. It starts out really well, then just degenerates into a huge, unfunny mess. It was like two different movies, neither of which was any good. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Just watch the brilliant "In Bruges" again More
