The skies have been overcast and the temperatures well below normal at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. Alas, the weather feels all too appropriate for an event that's having a hard time generating much heat itself. With few discoveries and even fewer surprises on display, the widespread feeling among those gathered here is one of disappointment. You can't stop asking yourself, "Is that all there is?" 

Take the case of Emilio Estevez's star-studded Bobby, one of the festival's gala premieres, for which expectations were running very high. Created in the style of the Greta Garbo classic Grand Hotel, Bobby follows more than two dozen fictional characters as they wander through Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel on the day of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination in 1968.
