ILT’s VIFF 2018 continues with a look at two of the wittiest flicks at this year’s festival:
Jacques Audiard’s The Sisters Brothers (Joaquin Phoenix; John C. Reilly; Jake Gyllenhaal; Riz Ahmed)…
…and David Lowery’s The Old Man & the Gun (Robert Redford; Sissy Spacek; Casey Affleck)

Writer-director (and co-star) Joel Edgerton’s emotionally challenging deep dive into the murky world of gay conversion therapy is one of the best, and most important films of the year.
Arguably the highlight of VIFF 2018, Boy Erased also stars Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe.Follow ILT on twitter @iltfilm
