The Toronto Film Festival kicked off this week, and with it the premieres of some of the most talked-about films heading into awards season.

Céline Sciamma’s breathtaking Cannes favorite “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” will play alongside Pedro Almodóvar’s “Pain and Glory,” two extremely buzzy titles that are sure to win hearts.
