Rachel Morrison’s Love of Your Life, starring Margaret Qualley; Ben Shirinian’s The Housewife, with Naomi Watts; and the Mahershala Ali-starring hitman thriller Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother are set for world premieres at the Toronto Film Festival in September, organizers said on Thursday.
TIFF is also giving a first look for Glaxo, from Argentine Benjamín Naishtat, and an international premiere for the Zellner brothers’ alien invasion comedy Alpha Gang after an expected world premiere in Venice.
Black Panther cinematographer-turned-director Rachel Morrison directs the Amazon MGM Studios feature Love of Your Life about a young woman, played by Qualley, who, finding herself suddenly single, goes on a journey to find a way forward in her life. The film is produced by Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson and also stars Gabriel Basso, Aaron Pierre and Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Shirinian makes his feature debut in The Housewife, starring Watts, Tye Sheridan, Michael Imperioli and Norman Reedus. Based on a true story from 1964, the psychological drama will see Sheridan play a young New York Times journalist tracking down a potential Nazi officer living secretly in Queens. When he befriends the suspect’s charming wife, played by Watts, his investigation goes off track.
