Oh, my.
I suppose when you heard that TIFF was building a combination movie theatre/residence on a spot where the Reitman family used to own a parking lot, you're not sure what your'e going to get.
The lightbox, however, turned out to be a genuine move palace. The first floor contains a restaurant, gift shop and exhibit space. On the upper levels are the cinemas.
They're excellent theaters. The first show I went to see there was 2001, and the seats were so comfortable I nearly nodded off. Admittedly, Kubrick's masterpiece is one that can have that effect on people, but the seats didn't help.
The Lightbox has a variety of festivals and specials that it screens, and it's another reason I wish I lived in the city proper and could take full advantage of the cultural riches that it has available.
