One of the pleasant surprises of TIFF last year was Aaron Schneider’s debut film, the western/comedy/character-drama Get Low (Review here). Kind of a kinder, gentler, but still rather surprising take on Billy Wilder’s classic Ace In The Hole, with its media circus and mysterious trickster, but focusing on character rather than ‘portrait of america.’ It offers delightful performances from all of the leads. A classic straight-up sarcastic-comic performance from Bill Murray and a warm, gentle performance from Sissy Spacek are icing on the cake. But the knock-out central performance of Robert Duvall is one of his best.

Not to be missed!
