It looks as though Xavier Dolan’s Cannes entry “Matthias & Maxime,” will not be going to TIFF. Dolan has been a mainstay of the Canadian film festival ever since his debut (“I Killed My Mother”) premiered there in 2009 . The Quebecois writer-director was there just last year for his misbegotten and ill-received “The Life and Death of John F. Donovan.” The source for this news is The Globe and Mail’s Barry Hertz.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
