Overview
- This week at the Toronto International Film Festival reviewers and audiences have singled out Jack O’Connell’s performance as Larry Lamb as the film’s driving force.
- Guy Pearce says he and Boyle chose to portray a young Rupert Murdoch as an anti-establishment figure focused on entertaining readers rather than a one-dimensional villain.
- Critics praised Boyle’s vigorous direction and the film’s role as a history lesson about tabloidization while noting a late subplot that raises moral questions for the characters.
- Several reviews pointed to two visibly used pieces of generative AI for brief visual effects and questioned some anachronistic music choices given the film’s ethical themes.
- Ink opened at Venice and played Telluride before TIFF and is scheduled for a limited U.S. theatrical window in December followed by Netflix streaming in January 2027 as part of a planned awards push.
