Lineups around the block Toronto streets for movie tickets, rush lines are accompanied by well meaning shouting at you volunteers the norm.

I was able to catch The Danish Girl and Black Mass while being moved along one by one. Both films worth the kind abuse of 

well uber TIFF staff. I was happy to catch both films in a full house in the morning to evening screenings.

The crowd density appears somewhat thinner than last year, the industry perhaps a tad quiter yet the sense that intense film campaigns are underway launching for the Oscar campaigns that are essential to TIFF.

Watch for Laurie Gordon's reviews on Musivision Films filmfestival.com blog today.

Thank you for watching.
