Some picks from our gallery from the Toronto Film Festival, showing some of the films tipped to take prizes

Arthur Newman: Don’t let the sombre pic fool you: director Dante Ariola cut his teeth on The Ren & Stimpy Show. This film is billed as a fragile love story about two damaged people moving into an abandoned house together. Expect Colin Firth to be screaming “EMILY! YOU EEEEEE-DIOT!” soon after Photograph: PR

Great Expectations: This was pipped to the post by Anna Karenina’s placement as Toronto’s first big’n’classy literary adaptation. Still, with a cast including Helena Bonham Carter (Miss Haversham) and Ralph Fiennes (Magwitch), you can expect Mike Newell’s film to pocket some critical acclaim Photograph: PR

Anna Karenina: Tolstoy’s classic gets a sumptuous reworking from Joe Wright, who’s rinsed the phone book to recruit Keira Knightley as the Russian socialite wooed away from her straight-laced hubby (Jude Law) by the dashing Count Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) Photograph: PR

The Place Beyond the Pines: Ryan Gosling and director Derek Cianfrance, who last teamed up on Blue Valentine, swap moping for mopeds with a crime drama that sees Gosling play a stunt biker thinking of breaking bad to provide for his unborn son. Bradley Cooper is the cop to Gozzle’s robber Photograph: PR
