As I was heading into the 2016 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, I thought that this was going to be an off year for me. However, it turns out that I still managed to see a decent number of films and for the first time ever I even got to see the winner of the People’s Choice Award. I was also successful in my experiment of rushing P&I screenings, which might be something I do more in the future.
Now, without any further ado, here is my full TIFF wrap-up.
