Following her BAFTA-nominated debut Blue Jean, director Georgia Oakley turns her eye to the drawing room with a fresh take on Jane Austen's very first novel, Sense and Sensibility, adapted for the screen by bestselling novelist Diana Reid, best known for her sharp, contemporary fiction rather than empire-line frocks.

When Mr Dashwood dies, his widow and three daughters are left with next to nothing, forced out of their Sussex home and into a modest cottage. Daisy Edgar-Jones plays the steady, sensible Elinor, while Esmé Creed-Miles is her younger sister Marianne, all impulsive heart and no restraint whatsoever.

Between them they fall for two very different men: George MacKay's quietly honourable Edward Ferrars, and Frank Dillane's dashing, unreliable John Willoughby. Caitríona Balfe plays their newly widowed mother, and Fiona Shaw brings warmth and mischief as the incorrigible gossip Mrs Jennings.

The film marks the latest collaboration between Working Title and Focus Features on Austen's work, following their acclaimed Pride & Prejudice and Emma adaptations. Shot across genuine historic houses in Dorset, Knebworth, and Devon, this version leans fully into the scale and stiff-collared formality of the period while keeping Austen's wit intact.

Expect embroidery-perfect frocks hiding some seriously messy feelings, and a film unafraid to let its heroines' hearts run just as loud as their heads.

Starring Tom Hiddleston (TIFF ’24’s The Life of Chuck), Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe, and Genden Phuntsok (TIFF ’18’s Jinpa), this wondrous biopic recounts the story of Himalayan Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay who, alongside Edmund Hillary, became first to top Everest in 1953.

The latest from director Jennifer Peedom (TIFF ’15’s Sherpa) recounts the story of Himalayan Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay who, alongside Edmund Hillary, became the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest in 1953. Written by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Luke Davis (TIFF ’16’s Lion), and starring Tom Hiddleston (TIFF ’24’s The Life of Chuck), Caitríona Balfe (TIFF ’21’s Belfast), Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (TIFF ’17’s The Florida Project), and Genden Phuntsok (TIFF ’18’s Jinpa), Tenzing is the inspiring exploration of an extraordinary life fuelled by ambition, tenacity, and a true sense of wonder.

Hard work and sheer charisma found Tenzing (Phuntsok) working on British expeditions to Everest in the 1930s. Nearly two decades would pass before he joined the team that would finally complete the ascent to the world’s tallest peak, led by John Hunt (Dafoe) and Edmund Hillary (Hiddleston), whose survival would ultimately depend on Tenzing’s skills, dedication, and profound courage.

Gorgeously photographed by Stefan Duscio (The Invisible Man), Tenzing is a transporting experience, ushering us along a seemingly impossible trek to the top of the world. The film’s stellar cast make expert guides on this journey, but its single greatest asset is Phuntsok, who embodies its larger-than-life hero with grace and vulnerability — and somehow captures Tenzing’s legendarily irresistible smile.
