Dermot Mulroney has always had charisma to spare. He has the ability to find a nice balance between the tough guy bravado he offers, yet with a somehow grounded and natural edge. In his latest feature Inhale, he has the opportunity to show more range than ever before. His work as a lawyer trying to help his dying daughter in need of a lung transplant is really superb. The natural energy he brings really is put to good use in this disturbing thriller.

Inhale features a couple whose young daughter doesn’t have very long to live. Like too many people in the real world, she is waiting on a lung transplant. Yet unless you are insanely wealthy, you wait just like anybody else on the list. And it is one hell of a long list! This is most unsettling when the organ you need seems to be directly in your grasp, yet falls short due to politics and red tape.

Among the handful of big winners at TIFF this year when it comes to distribution, writer-director James Gunn is certainly up there.  His latest flick entitled Super spawned an all-night bidding war after a successful midnight premiere where IFC won out.  The dark comedy stars Rainn Wilson as a misfit superhero who lacks any heroic skills.  Wilson stars alongside Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon and the always badass, Michael Rooker.

More acquisition news is coming out of Toronto, as IFC Films has bought the rights to Werner Herzog's 3D documentary Caves of Forgotten Dreams. This follows IFC's snatching up of James Gunn's ribald superhero flick Super just a few days ago.

Super a deranged superhero comedy directed by James Gunn (the screenwriter of Dawn of the Dead and Scooby-Doo), was bought by IFC Films after its very successful debut at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Rainn Wilson, Kevin Bacon, Liv Tyler and Ellen Page.
