Owen Gleiberman calls Chris Rock's directorial debut a 'savagely authentic drama' about fading fame, with Rosalind Eleazar delivering a performance full of 'doleful charisma and casual fury.' It's the kind of review that puts Rock in the conversation as a major filmmaker.

Chris Rock's directorial debut steals the day
Chris Rock's 'Misty Green' is getting the kind of early reviews that shift a career. Elsewhere, the Toronto Film Festival is serving up two very different star vehicles, and a quiet bit of FCC drama is reminding us that politics and late-night TV still make for an explosive mix.
Toronto highlights
The festival is delivering two very different kinds of star power this year.
Michelle Yeoh's first leading role since her Oscar win is a medical action thriller where she uses surgical skills to take down bad guys. Pete Hammond calls it a fun, energetic return to form, but warns the violence is graphic.
Peter Farrelly's 'I Play Rocky' traces Stallone's fight to get the original film made. The review argues that this biopic demands a strong impersonation because the subject is so iconic.
Politics and late night
The FCC chair isn't letting a Jimmy Kimmel interview slide without a fight.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is accusing Texas candidate James Talarico of running a 'hoax' by sitting down with Jimmy Kimmel on YouTube instead of broadcast TV, sidestepping equal time rules. The interview has nearly 7 million views, and Carr is clearly not happy about it.
