Bassam Tariq’s “Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother,” a hitman thriller starring Mahershala Ali, has emerged as the top pick for the 26th edition of “Chasing the Buzz,” the Star’s annual roundup of the hottest films headed to the Toronto International Film Festival, Sept. 10 to 20.
“Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother” received seven votes from our panel of experts, the most for any of the 45 films on this year’s must-see list. World-premiering at TIFF ’26, it’s a boost for writer-director Tariq and Oscar-winning actor Ali, who moved to the project after spending years preparing for a “Blade” vampire franchise reboot ultimately killed by Marvel Studios.
