It’s only a few days until this Saturday’s Toronto Film Festival premiere of It’s Kind of a Funny Story , and already, something feels very different for filmmakers Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden. It isn’t just the assurance that Focus Features will release the film in theaters October 8 — as Boden puts it, “It’s nice to be able to go to a festival and enjoy the response to the film without that added pressure of having to sell it” — but the realization that after making very challenging, independent movies like Half Nelson and Sugar , Boden and Fleck have turned in a third feature that could finally be their mainstream crowd-pleaser.

American romantic comedies have become so dismal over the past 20 years that it wouldn’t be hard for even the Romanian film industry to show us up. I’m still waiting for the great Romanian romantic comedy (and hey, it could be out there), but for now, France saves the day with Heartbreaker, in which French-cinema heartthrob Romain Duris plays cupid in reverse: Friends and family members of women in lousy relationships hire him and his two-person team to incite a breakup. Duris’s character, a just-scruffy-enough smoothie named Alex, moves in on these women, flattering them, charming them, and otherwise boosting their confidence to help launch them out of these unhappy unions and get them on the road to better ones.

As gay teen Marshall on United States of Tara , Keir Gilchrist often seems to be too preternaturally sensitive for the real world, and his lead role in the Toronto-premiering It’s Kind of a Funny Story (adapted from the Ned Vizzini novel by indie directors Ryan Boden and Anna Fleck) takes that personality type to its logical conclusion: His character, Craig, checks himself into a mental hospital after life seems like too much to bear. Gilchrist talked to Movieline about booking the role, improvising with costar Zach Galifianakis, and why he’s not a big fan of preparation.
