Red Carpet Premiere of The Cut @TIFF 2024
Director Sean Ellis’s The Cut is a new body horror film that takes place in the boxing world n


The red carpet premiere of The Cut, directed by Sean Ellis, brought intensity and grit to the Toronto International Film Festival, showcasing a story that digs into the physical and moral extremes of boxing. Orlando Bloom stars as a retired fighter determined to claim one final shot at the title, even if it means endangering his health. Bloom’s portrayal of a man teetering on the edge—both physically and mentally—was praised for its raw, visceral energy, as he captures the desperation and resilience of an athlete at his breaking point.
John Turturro plays the role of Bloom’s shady trainer Boz who pushes him through an illegal and gruelling weight-cutting regimen in a secluded Las Vegas room. Turturro’s portrayal of this evil figure added layers to the film, depicting a man who, driven by his motivations, disregards ethical boundaries to achieve results. The tense atmosphere created by the confined setting and relentless pacing made the film a standout at TIFF, immersing viewers in the relentless physical and psychological toll on its characters.
The Cut captured the audience’s attention with its dark, realistic portrayal of the cost of ambition in combat sports, leaving a lasting impact on TIFF as both a compelling sports drama and a cautionary tale about the lengths some will go to achieve greatness. FERNTV says that this is one story that you should not miss when it is released worldwide.
