Rachel attended CANFAR’s Young Professional Council Our Future Without AIDS Benefit evening on saturday evening (April 27) in Toronto. The event was an art auction to benefit CANFAR (Canadian Foundation for Aids Research) and Rachel’s (childhood) friend Tennille Rose Will, who is a Toronto-based artist, submitted one of her pieces (titled Forever Roses) to the auction. Actor Terrence Howard also attended the event. For more information about CANFAR please visit their official website. We only found a few (fan)photos so far of Rachel at the event, which can be found in our gallery.

The CANFAR Young Professional Council (YPC) would like to take this opportunity to convey our heartfelt thanks to you for attending our 3rd annual ‘Our Future Without AIDS’ (OFWA) fundraising event on Saturday night. The event was attended by more than 400 young professionals and supporters (and a few A-list celebrities like Rachel McAdams and Terrence Howard)! The evening featured a live art experience, an art auction, great food from our lovely caterers, and fantastic music by DJ Cal of Salacious Media.

Together we were able to raise over $33,000 for this important cause! Your generous support will help to fund vital HIV and AIDS research in Canada.

The ASC released a brand new “To The Wonder” movie clip and official on set pictures featuring Rachel attached to their interview with director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki. The clip can be watched in our media archive, and we added the photos in our gallery.

The interview with Lubezki is also worth the read, because he gives some interesting insights into the working process of writer/director Terrence Malick and it it might help you understand the movie better. You can find some excerpts below, but you can find the full interview over here.

“Terry didn’t say this, but I felt that he was trying to separate To the Wonder from all the moviemaking that’s still connected to theater — from movies that feel acted, prepared and rehearsed. We were trying to find a more cinematographic approach to filmmaking and a way of using film language that was less connected to theater and literature and other art forms. Terry wants this art form to have its own way of expressing ideas and emotions, and that’s what was very exciting about the movie.”

“It’s a combination of 35mm, which was used for the scenes between Ben and Olga in Oklahoma, and 65mm for several shots of Ben and Rachel McAdams. That relationship is perceived by Ben’s character as less romantic and more stable and realistic, and we felt that the 65mm expressed that stability and a kind of hyper-reality.”

TV Guide Network aired a Celebrity Style Story special on Rachel last sunday which features some great segments of Rachel during press junkets for “Slings & Arrows”, “Mean Girls”, “The Notebook” and “Wedding Crashers”. Most of this footage was new for me, so it’s definitely worth the watch. You can find the 3-part special in our media archive.

We already made a round-up of the reviews for “To The Wonder” after the Venice Film Festival and UK release but since the movie is opening in the US today we thought it would be nice to make a round-up with US reviews as well.

The movie is getting mixed reviews from the US critics, but if Rachel’s performance is mentioned then her performance is generally praised.

“Kurylenko and McAdams are luminous as they bask in the glow of love when it is warm, and full of angst when it goes cold. And young Tatiana Chiline is just a delight. The camera loves the women, lingering, perhaps a little too long as they spin and dance through open fields of grains and grasses and flowers.”
