In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

We're finally over our post-festival colds (okay, Emily's still coughing a bit) and ready to share our final TIFF thoughts! Settle in with a seasonal beverage (pumpkin spice cold brew, anyone?) and listen in as we reflect on all the women-directed films we saw, including new works from Kasi Lemmons (HARRIET) and Alma Har'el (HONEY BOY) as well as debut features from Aisling Chin-Yee (THE REST OF US, a.k.a. Danita's new favourite film!) and Rose Glass (SAINT MAUD). Plus, what did Movie Club think of Renée Zellweger's buzzed-about performance in JUDY?

We Really Like Her! is produced by Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg, edited by Danita Steinberg, and features a theme song by Emily Milling.
