    TIFF 2026 #36: Midnight Madness (International Premiere) Barely functional as a movie but that's also because Matt Barats states outright that this is a series of vignettes. Yet they're also telling of a very uncomfortable place in life for anyone to be, given that he…

    I’ve made a point for the last three years to seek out the comedies programmed under Midnight Madness, and for the third year in a row it’s paid off. This has a lot of similarities with Friendship in depicting a protagonist who almost invites sympathy only to repel it…
