TIFF Review: Julianne Moore shines in The Debut

Jesse Eisenberg rose to fame playing awkward nerds, and now as a filmmaker he is giving a specific kind of nerd their due: theater nerds. His third feature film as a writer-director is The Debut, a comedy that borders on farce, set in the world of community theater. Eisenberg
