Rachel Morrison brings Love of Your Life to Toronto for world premiere
Rachel Morrison has premiered her second film as a director, Love of Your Life, at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The romantic drama had its world premiere in the festival's Special Presentations line-up, according to TIFF. It runs 1 hour 49 minutes, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
Margaret Qualley leads the cast as Maya, an independent ER nurse. Gabriel Basso plays Charlie opposite her, while Patrick Schwarzenegger plays Jason, Maya's best friend.
The wider cast includes Aaron Pierre and Catherine Keener. Character and casting details were confirmed in The Hollywood Reporter coverage of the premiere.
The story follows a young woman through romantic relationships over several years and across continents, TIFF listings say. It is an Amazon MGM Studios feature, as reported ahead of the festival by The Hollywood Reporter.
Ryan Gosling is credited as a producer on the project. His involvement was first reported by the trade press in August 2025.
For Morrison, the premiere is a next step after a long career behind the camera. She was the cinematographer on Black Panther and, in 2018, became the first woman ever nominated for the Academy Award for best cinematography.
Love of Your Life is her sophomore feature as a director. Festival programmes list it as a romantic drama, a section of the market where a clear premise and a recognisable cast often decide how far a film travels after Toronto.
What makes this stand out for festival watchers is the shift in role. Morrison built her name lighting other directors' films. Here she is the director guiding a multi-year love story led by Qualley.
