While Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Banshees of Inisherin lead, the season saw other films with all the requisite ingredients fail to score
Opening at Toronto with less of a roar and more of a roar with laughter was limp 50s-set drama My Policeman, the film that hoped to legitimiseas not just a movie star but a real actor. The overwhelming verdict was that it didn’t and he isn’t, the film receiving mostly negative reviews, instantly killing its chances as an awards contender.
He assembled a stacked cast – Oscar nominee Hugh Jackman, Oscar nominee Vanessa Kirby, Oscar winner Laura Dern – and even corralled Anthony Hopkins, who won the best actor Oscar for The Father, back for a one-scene turn. But it turned out that The Son was too bad to be believed, a clunky drama that managed to get all of the things wrong that its predecessor got right, turning off critics, audiences and voters. The Mother seems unlikely to follow.

Lidia Thorpe’s resignation from Greens makes passing Voice ‘harder’ for LaborFormer Victorian Liberal president Michael Kroger says Lidia Thorpe’s resignation from the Greens makes it “harder” for the Labor Party to pass the Voice to Parliament legislation. “I think it’s harder for Labor, particularly if she campaigns against the Voice, which you’d expect her to,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “I mean, this is why she resigned from the Greens. “She’s in favour of a treaty, she’s in favour of truth-telling commission, and she’s in favour of reparations, and ultimately she’s in favour of a separate sovereign nation.”
