If you haven't seen Cate Shortland's debut "Somersault," do so now. Starring Sam Worthington and Abbie Cornish very early on in both their careers, the film is unique little indie that firmly put Shortland on our list of ones to watch. And we've been patiently waiting eight years for his next effort, but now we'll get to finally see it next month at TIFF.

"Lore" arrives making its North American premiere in Toronto, and we couldn't be more excited -- especially after the great first trailer -- to see what the helmer is bringing to the table. Here's the official synopsis: After her Nazi parents are imprisoned, Lore leads her younger siblings across a war-torn Germany in 1945. Amidst the chaos, she encounters mysterious Jewish refugee Thomas, who shatters her fragile reality with hatred and desire. To live, she must trust someone she was taught to hate and face the darkness within herself.
