Here is the last batch of Toronto International Film Festival reviews:
The Damned United (Tom Hooper, UK)
It’s a joy to see one of my favorite sports on the big screen in this soccer drama. This biopic tends to get tedious at times, but Michael Sheen delivers an astounding performance as Brian Clough. Supporting performances by Jim Broadbent and Timothy Spall are both standouts as well. The quick pace keeps the film entertaining, but it unfortunately doesn’t do anything new for the genre.
