“I love the women in this film so much,” Constance Wu told The Times. “So, the fact that that energy translated to the audience, that’s all we wanted.”

“Waves” and “Just Mercy” directors Trey Edward Shults and Destin Daniel Cretton bring tears and traumas to Toronto, while the terrific Romanian documentary “Collective” strikes a nerve.

After introducing nearly the entire cast , Scafaria told the film’s first public audience something special about what they were about to see: “This movie is dedicated to strippers and sex workers everywhere.” Though the day had been filled with rumors throughout King Street that Lopez would perform at the film’s premiere party, the after-midnight bash — hosted at Sofia in Toronto’s tony Yorkville neighborhood — simply included hits by Lopez and Cardi B throughout its playlist. Lopez, who is already earning supporting actress Oscar buzz for her revelatory performance, stayed seated at a heavily guarded table. Still, a stripper pole inside the bar became a popular prop for guests’ photos.

That’s what Wu, who spent some time with Keo at the party, hopes will happen when “Hustlers” opens nationwide on Sept. 13. “Of course, I hope people have a good time,” she said. “But I also hope they come to care about these women they’re watching as people.”
