Film Critic Justin Souther at the Toronto International Film Festival
For the next week, the Xpress’ own Justin Souther will be whiling away his time at the Toronto International Film Festival—getting, in many cases, an early look at what we’ll be seeing in Asheville during awards season (which is just about upon us).

This is the first. —Ken Hanke
