The Toronto International Film Festival 2024 has been a whirlwind of notable events and screenings, drawing significant attention from both critics and attendees.

Not without controversy, TIFF also saw protests against 'Russians At War,' directed by Anastasia Trofimova, which critics labeled as Russian propaganda.
