Since The Boy And The Heron opened the festival, there was a Studio Ghibli pop-up store. Sadly, I didn't take either of these giant fur babies home. But it was tempting!
All things in life must come to an end, so it's time to say goodbye to TIFF '23. Words will never be enough to express my gratitude to Nathaniel and the Media Inclusion Initiative, whose help made this coverage possible. Overall, I watched 59 features and six shorts, reviewing most of them along the way, and getting positively drunk on cinema. It was especially incredible to experience so many of these films on giant screens, unlike the sort I get to experience in Lisbon-based festivals. To watch something like Rosine Mbakam's Mambar Pierrette on the Scotiabank Theater's IMAX screen is an experience I won't soon forget.

Eventually, every medical drama has a high-stakes story where someone has to perform life-saving surgery in a dangerous environment.
It was Chicago Med Season 8 Episode 4's turn; this time around, Marcel had to work while trapped underground, with rubble, constantly falling everywhere.
This time, everyone survived, but was this story worth it?
These kinds of stories are risky; if you don't like stories where doctors are in grave danger themselves or have to use non-medical items to complete a procedure, you'll hate this sort of thing.
In addition, this is hardly the first dangerous situation Marcel has been in; he's been held hostage and done surgery at gunpoint before.

Yet, this didn't feel like a rerun. The premise was believable and compelling.
It helped that there weren't a ton of victims with graphic injuries and that Marcel didn't face one danger after another.
