Papillonscreened at the Toronto International Film Festival last yr and the initial reaction to the film was interracial to positive . Hunnam and Malek ’s onscreen chemistry , as well as their private performances , are single out asPapillon ’s great strength in most of the pic ’s reviews thus far .
