★★★★☆ "Everyone says: 'Less emotion, less emotion.' How can anyone act without emotion?" So complains the eponymous veteran actress in Slovakian drama Eva Nová. She's lamenting her plight; unemployed and at the mercy of modern, young directors and contemporary conventions towards minimalism. The first interesting thing about this exchange is her denial of the real reason for her professional decline - years spent soused have done infinitely more damage than her acting style.

While Tiff festival programmers naturally like to boast, and some in the biz certainly consider the fest’s People’s Choice Award as a good luck charm for Best Picture Oscar winner gold, the top ticket stub collecting nod certainly augments the prospects of a given film title and the A24 folks must be feeling pretty good about the title they invested in on early. With terrific buzz coming out from Telluride, Lenny Abrahamson’s Room appears to be covered in magic fairy dust. The Brie Larson starring imprisonment family drama would have not been crowned with the top Tiff Award if it weren’t for a last minute screening addition to replace the canceled public screening of Mathew Cullen’s London Fields. That Friday night showing cemented the win over Pan Nalin’s Indian film Angry Indian Goddesses (First Runner Up) and Tom McCarthy’s Spotlight (Second Runner Up).
