Also: life after Superman, foes of the Taliban and a serial killer on a TV game show

Also more VIFF choices find comedy, music, racism and bumbling politicos

Also more VIFF picks including one of the best films of the year

And in other films: a controlling mom, a fading husband and Transformers at play

They're about cops, racism, gentrification and a space shot accident

They're about a difficult mother-in-law, a headbanger and three estranged sisters

Also demons in the house, race issues, immigrant problems and kids' baseball

As is a Jewish comedy, a sparkling wildlife documentary and some wondrous magic

Daughters, dads in prison, Alien Romulus, The Death Tour, Close to You, Elliot Page, The Union, secret agents, Jackpot, lottery

Also the strongest Indigenous dictum of the year and two more films

And from unexpected sources: hip hop and a film noir.

Crossing is far better and The Fabulous Four is far behind

And more thrills from climbing tall buildings, a gay rodeo and a gruelling long-distance swim

There's also a scary but not gross horror movie and a mother-daughter battle, both filmed in Canada

There's also a very truthful story of Indigenous life in North America these days
