TIFF will close with Mary Harron’s Dalíland, which sees Ezra Miller (who has been in some hot water lately) and Ben Kinglsey sharing the portrayal of surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, as the movie follows the artist and his wife-slash-muse, Gala Lear, in their later years. Andreja Pejić will portray Gala, with actors Rupert Graves (Sherlock) and Suki Waterhouse in supporting roles.

Between these two movies, roughly 200 feature films will screen, including world premieres, new releases, and some solid throwbacks—like The Mummy and a 30th-anniversary screening of A League of Their Own, which are both part of TIFF’s Festival Street program. Here are five must-see movies to catch at the film festival. Our list includes two highly-anticipated titles, an “intimate drama” led by Brendan Fraser, a directorial debut starring a buzzworthy actor, and a fan-favorite book adaptation seeking distribution (also a feature directorial debut).

Detective Benoit Blanc is back—and this time, with a new mystery! The sequel to the acclaimed whodunit, Knives Out, will make its world premiere at TIFF on September 10 with additional screenings playing throughout the 17th. The highly-anticipated movie welcomes to return of director Rian Johnson and actor Daniel Craig, along with an all-star cast consisting of Edward Norton, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Ethan Hawke, and more.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is set to be released December 23 on Netflix and in select theaters.

Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s coming-of-age queer novel, Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, was released in 2012 to worldwide acclaim, garnering a passionate fanbase across social media and book platforms like GoodReads, where it has a 4.43 out of 5 stars with 466,750 ratings. Over the last decade, the universe has continued to grow, first with its 2021 sequel, Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World, and now, the release of the movie adaptation by Aitch Alberto, a Miami filmmaker making her feature directorial debut.

With many similarities to the 2012 book-to-movie adaptation, Perks of Being A Wallflower, this movie has high cult potential—however, it is still seeking distribution. Alberto (who has likely been hounded with endless questions from fans) shared on Twitter, “to answer this question and give you a little insight on indie filmmaking. #arianddantemovie is an indie film, usually most indie films don’t immediately have a distributor. like ours, so we’re going to TIFF with the hope that we’ll sell the movie to a distributor…” sparking a revolution of fans tagging their favorite distributors—including A24, HBO Max, Netflix, and more—in the comments and quotes. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe will have its world premiere at TIFF September 9 and will screen in person until the 15th, in addition to a limited run on the TIFF digital platform.

Another big title! This historical drama is inspired by true events and tells the story of a 19th century all-female group of warriors, the Agojie (who were the inspiration for the Dora Milaje from Marvel Studios’ Black Panther), tasked with protecting their kingdom from evil. The Viola Davis-led movie will have its world premiere at the festival on September 9 and is set to screen through September 15, being released in theaters on September 16.

Brendan Fraser is the man of the hour! The actor—known for his roles in The Mummy trilogy, Blast from the Past, and DC’s Doom Patrol—will receive the TIFF Tribute Award for Performance at the 2022 TIFF Tribute Awards (one of two acting awards handed out at the September 11 gala fundraiser) for his performance in The Whale. Past winners include Jessica Chastain, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and Joaquin Phoenix.

Directed by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) and based on the 2012 play by Samuel D. Hunter (who also adapted the screenplay), the movie tells the story of an English teacher living with obesity and his attempt to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter (played by Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink). The movie will screen September 11-12 at TIFF, following its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on September 4.

Theatre and television director Lila Neugebauer (The Sex Lives of College Girls, Maid) makes her feature directorial debut with this psychological drama, which stars Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence (who is also a producer) and Brian Tyree Henry. Causeway follows a soldier, Lindsay, after she is hit with an explosive in Afghanistan and sent home to recover. She meets a mechanic named James and the two bond over their similar trauma.

The Toronto International Film Festival runs September 8-18.
