We're about halfway through TIFF, and that means over the course of dozens of screenings some movies have already risen above, and below, the pack. Audiences have started to weigh in on what movies will be remembered as the year's best, and what movies they wish they could get their time back for.

Here are the best and worst movies at TIFF 2016 so far.

THE BEST

Arrival
Denis Villeneuve's latest finds earth hosting a possible alien invasion, and a linguist (Amy Adams) has to learn their language to determine if they come in peace or not.

ARRIVAL just floored me. Hauntingly nerdy, but also emotional & beautiful. Sci-fi fans will flip for this. In my top 5 of the year #tiff16

ARRIVAL: God I love this movie. Thrilling, emotional, ingenious, beautiful. This is what I'm here for. #TIFF16

— Jason Bailey (@jasondashbailey) September 9, 2016

I walked out of Arrival in a bit of a daze; that's how good it was. It was Interstellar-esque & it's my fave film I've seen so far #TIFF16

Toni Erdmann
An ambitious career woman working in Bucharest finds herself the victim of a surprise visit from her prankster father.

I didn't know what exactly to expect from a highly buzzed about 3 hour long German comedy. But boy did Toni Erdmann deliver. #TIFF16

— Nicky Odujirin (@NickyOdujirin) September 9, 2016

#ToniErdmann was absolute magic, one of the greatest couple of hours in the cinema I've spent. #TIFF16

TONI ERDMANN: The best movie of the festival and the year. #tiff16

Manchester By the Sea
When Lee's (Casey Affleck) brother, Joe, dies and names him the guardian of his son, Lee has to come to term with his new responsibilities, as well as the past that haunts him as he returns to his hometown.

Deeply, deeply grateful for MANCHESTER BY THE SEA. Hard to start #TIFF16 with the bar set so high.

— Grace Wang (@etherielmusings) September 8, 2016

Manchester by the Sea is so so so good. Casey Affleck deserves the Oscar. Should I give up now and end on a high note?!? #TIFF16

Moonlight
A look at a young black man in Florida, coming to terms with growing up, his sexuality, and the challenging environments he is born into and wants to escape.

MOONLIGHT: jenkins goes for the fleeting touches, feelings, details, and the power they have to create & destroy us. truly stunning. #TIFF16

— josh lewis (@thejoshl) September 11, 2016

I'm still feeling my feelings about MOONLIGHT. So exquisitely crafted. Best film I've seen at #TIFF16 yet.

Window Horses (The Poetic Persian Epiphany of Rosie Ming
A young Canadian poet gets invited to a festival in Iran, and ends up learning not just a lot about the craft she's committed to (her own and Iranian poetry) but about her own history and life as well.

First #TIFF16 film to trigger gentle tears was Ann Marie Fleming's Window Horses. I wanted so much to have a film like this when I was a kid

WINDOW HORSES: Canadian animation best in the world #tiff16 #6wordreviews

Weirdos
Versatile Canadian director Bruce McDonald tackles a road movie, with this story about two East Coast teens in the 1970s who hit the pavement along with the help of, yes really, the ghost of Andy Warhol.

Fave #TIFF16 film so far: Bruce McDonald's #Weirdos Bravo @JuliaSarahStone @DylanAuthors @allanhawco @TheMollyParker pic.twitter.com/3oTSZr9W6t

— Dana Lafarga (@DanaLafarga) September 11, 2016

Dug the eclectic auteur McDonald's #Weirdos - an iconically Canadian road trip comedy with an approachable warm charm #TIFF16 #CanadianFilm

— John Fink (@FinkJohnJ) September 11, 2016

Highlight of #TIFF16 so far for me has been the movie #Weirdos by @BruceRMcDonald Sweet, touching, great music & beautifully shot!

Lion
The real story about a young Indian boy who is separated from his family, is adopted by Australian parents, and eventually uses Google Earth to try and find his way back home and to his birth mother.

LION: Touching, gorgeous drama about identity & family. Got me right in the feels. Dev Patel is wonderful! #TIFF16 pic.twitter.com/Pg88ASKLkN

— Alicia Malone (@aliciamalone) September 11, 2016

Still thinking about last night's Lion premiere. An extraordinary (true) story of one boy's search for home. You must see it! #TIFF16

— Ashley C. Bartlett (@QuaintrelleByAB) September 11, 2016

Lion is THE film thats going to keep winning #spotlight #TIFF16 #Lion pic.twitter.com/gxTZoWJsEu

THE WORST

American Pastoral
An adaptation of Philip Roth's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about an all-American couple in the 1960s whose daughter turns to rebellion which begins to tear the family apart.

AMERICAN PASTORAL is the most tone-deaf movie I've seen in a long time. #TIFF16

— Lou Lumenick (@LouLumenick) September 10, 2016

Not a good morning at #TIFF16 for me. #AmericanPastoral was not good. Skip it if you can.

— Leesah Sea (@LeesahSea) September 10, 2016

American Pastoral: Beautiful direction by Ewan McGregor, but the film loses what little momentum it has well before the halfway mark #TIFF16

— Amelia Howell (@cinemeIia) September 10, 2016

(Re)Assignment
A psychiatrist seeks revenge on a man who murdered her brother by turning the killer into a woman - one who then looks to exact her own revenge.

(Re)Assignment: easily the worst of the fest so far. If you're looking for a Walter Hill film, stay far away. #TIFF16

— Z. W. Lewis (@zeewillew) September 11, 2016

The old Walter Hill of THE DRIVER would have red-penned 90% of the dialogue of (re)ASSIGNMENT and dumped it on a rookie. Disaster. #TIFF16

— Joshua Rothkopf (@joshrothkopf) September 11, 2016

The Michelle Rodriguez sex-change thriller (RE)ASSIGNMENT may be 2016's biggest what-were-they-thinking fiasco. Holy moly. #TIFF16

— Kyle Buchanan (@kylebuchanan) September 11, 2016

Interchange
The story of a photographer who witnesses a terrible crime, and gets involved in a case that may involve the supernatural.

INTERCHANGE: Among the most purely inept films I've ever seen, like D-WARS without the funny bits. #TIFF16

— Max B. O'Connell (@thefilmtemple) September 11, 2016

#TIFF16: 'Interchange' is a real tedious watch. Plot feels like a Malaysian in-joke. Contrived performances and a terrible CGI were-toucan.

— Dan Poorman (@Dan_Poorman) September 11, 2016

INTERCHANGE: Feels like the guy who made Birdemic somehow got reasonable funding to hire a semi-competent production team. #TIFF16
