Toronto International Film Festival Review

I always love coming here. It's a great venue and they have great shows.

Enjoyed watching classic Italian films. Also watched Eagle Huntress. An excellent documentary that even kids would enjoy. Thanks for the suggestion stylebog.ca

A fantastic festival for watching some of the best films from around the world - the Industry events are also world class - A Richard Trus review

Always a pleasure to come here and enjoy the movie experience!!

This is my second home. Movies, restaurants, galleries all rolled into one.

Very good movies, nice staff but no reserved seats... :(

Rude condescending staff who think they're the stars. Save your money & go elsewhere where you'll be appreciated.

Best time to be in the city. Tons of movies that don't sell out if you're looking to venture out of the big name movies.

I'm mesmerized with this building and service every time I go!

Very comfortable, state of the art theatre for experiencing international gems.

I wasn't too thrilled with it last year. I'm not going again this year. Sorry to bust their bubble

Best place to watch films in the city, bar none. The special programming and 70mm restoration screenings meant I got to watch things like 2001 Space Odyssey as they were originally intended, rather than on a tiny laptop screen.

The lightbox is the best place to watch off the cusp films and documentaries. Lots of good stuff here.

Excellent documentary films economical & affordable admission and movies. Nearby princess of Wales theater for live plays & music performances. All amenities are within short walking distances to Canadian broadcasting company and Scotiabank arena (former Roger center)

Huge film festival. Advance preparation required to attend movies you actually want to see without waiting for hours in the rush lines.

Best event in Toronto, by far. If you get a ticket, than cherish it, because it's going to be the best experience you have in a theater.

Giving it 2 stars for now! Some volunteers don't know where the theaters are located to assist out of towners and the vibe is cool somewhat!
Loving the movies so far!

Gives a voice to films from around the world. Well designed, gorgeous and conveniently located in the heart of the city.

The acoustics in this theater are absolutely flawless. It's definitely an upscale theater which generally don't show mainstream ultra popular films so this is definitely a place to take your significant other to experience some culture through cinema.

If you like films in any context, you need to go here! TIFF is more than just a theatre - it's an appreciation of film as an art form. From documentaries to Oscar short animations, to new releases, TIFF is always showing the best (and sometimes just weird) films, in cozy and comfy theatres.

There are also sometimes interactive art exhibits on the bottom floor.

Don't miss open air movie screening every Wednesday in David Pecaut Square for the next 2 months 9:00 p.m

I think the festival is a rip-off:
- seeing one movie costs $25
- tickets can't be printed at home
- tickets have to be picked up in one given location, which is not necessarily the cinema where you're seeing the movie
- tickets have to be picked up before 7 pm, otherwise you can only get the ticket for the movie you're seeing that day
- if you don't arrive sufficiently early in advance you can miss your movie because they start re-selling tickets for people in the rush line
- in spite of all that, of course there are no reimbursements

I went to Toronto from Kitchener on a Friday and stayed over the weekend just for the festival. Although I left 4 hours in advance I missed my movie because I had to pick up my tickets outside of the movie theatre, due to the crazy traffic in Toronto on Fridays.

The movies I got to see were great. But I could have seen them later, at home or in a movie theatre. I will not attend the festival again, just because I don't want to support TIFF for its organization and rip-off culture.

Excellent movies, comfortable theatre, and good snacks.

Watch out for restaurant staff durring the tiff festivals. They will pick pocket you.

Want to enjoy great cinema? This is you destination. Everything from new films to retropectives on genres or directors / actors life works.

The DigiSpace exhibit is a fantastic sample of the potential, and joy of interactive experiences! Even if you don't have kids, make sure to check it out!

This is a great place, went to see "Mommy" last night. Lots of space and a very important point (to me anyway) all of the audience was there to see the movie versus sitting and stuffing their mouths with popcorn for 2 hours - yes nice to have a snack but sitting next a person who nosily eats crap for 2 hours is not my idea of relaxation.

Thanks to Danyel and everybody at the Press Centre.

Most archaic ticketing system: you can purchase tickets online, but you have to pick up in person. Also good luck if you are buying them as a gift, because to pick up, you need to present ID and the credit card you used for the purchase. If a friend is picking it up, they need a hand written note and a photocopy of the front and back on the credit card, apparently for security reason. I love that bringing photocopies of credit cards is considered secure by these geniuses.
