And yet there's precious little on the major news sites I use for arts coverage to help guide me in this task.

TheStar.com has a TIFF section, but there's no capsule reviews that I can see.

The best, however, is Now's Film Festival Insider, which highlights some films.

Addendum

I'm baffled by the fact that TIFF coverage really only starts next week (the festival kicks off on Sept. 4).

By then, good luck to you in getting tickets to any of the really choice screenings.
