Finn Wolfhard's directorial debut 'Hell of a Summer' landed major recognition.
The Big Picture This fall has brought another edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, and with the first screenings of some of the most anticipated independent films of the year came yet another celebration of the TIFF People's Choice Awards. Various projects from different countries were awarded recognition in three different categories, with the big winners of the night being Dicks: The Musical, Mr Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe and American Fiction.
Dicks: The Musical was given the TIFF 2023 People’s Choice Midnight Madness Award. Larry Charles' musical comedy follows two business adversaries who come to the realization that they're identical twin brothers, prompting them to take a page from the Parent Trap guidebook and switch places without anyone noticing.
Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe is a documentary about Ernie Coombs, a popular Canadian entertainer who created various television programs for children. The film was awarded the TIFF 2023 People’s Choice Documentary Award for the way it captured Coombs' life and the process he had for working on the stories and characters that could entertain the youngest audiences. A wholesome legacy is what can be found within the career of Mr. Dressup.
The People's Choice Award Winner The film that was awarded with the honor of receiving the 2023 TIFF People's Choice Award was American Fiction, a comedy directed by Cord Jefferson. The project secured one of the biggest honors of the night with a talented cast that includes Jeffrey Wright and Tracee Ellis Ross. The runner-ups were The Holdovers and The Boy and the Heron, the final film by the acclaimed filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki.
