TIFF Day One

Thursday Sep 7

The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) 52
Unremarkable spy drama finds a strange middle ground between forceful crowd pleasing and boring historical recreation, without enough style or energy to support the two-hour plus running time. Some fine performances and nice subtle character touches make this somewhat worthwhile but hardly explain the overwhelmingly positive buzz.
