TIFF 48 – Day 4by Thom Ernst – Film Correspondent(September 10, 2023 – Toronto, ON) While watching director Charles-Olivier Michaud’s RU I was reminded of Barry Greenwald’s Who Gets In? The documentary, Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe plays today at 8:45 pm in Scotiabank 3. I was one of the few existing Canadians who did not watch Mr. Dressup when growing up, but even in my ignorance, I know who Mr. Dressup is; and I know of his puppet pal, Finnegan. Thom Ernst is a Toronto based film critic and writer and an active member of the (TFCA) Toronto Film Critics’ Association. Currently he can be heard interviewing Canadian filmmakers on the Kingston Canadian Film Festival podcast, Rewind, Fast-Forward.
