Shonibar Bikel (Saturday Afternoon) (2019) 80% EDIT “Cleverly captured without a cut by Aziz Zhambakiev, the real time tedium of its unbroken 80 minute run-time gradually embroils the audience within the unravelling drama.” – Film Inquiry Jan 12, 2023 Full Review Seriously Red (2021) 55% EDIT “Often lapsing into cheap melodrama as it tries to form a facile rise-and-fall story, Seriously Red lacks purpose.” – Film Inquiry Nov 26, 2022 Full Review Burning Days (2022) 86% EDIT “Despite its hype, Emin Alper’s simmering political thriller Burning Days surfaces short of its lofty ambitions.” – Film Inquiry Jun 25, 2022 Full Review Saloum (2021) 96% EDIT “From its idiosyncratic costume designing to its clever DIY camera tricks, there’s always something new lurking behind and in front of the camera – this is the rare film that would actually benefit from a longer running time.” – Film Inquiry Jun 25, 2022 Full Review Nitram (2021) 92% EDIT “Nitram is the work of austere stylist, a study in ambiguities rather than an immoral memoir of a murderer that some feared it to be.” – Film Inquiry Sep 11, 2021 Full Review The Legend of Molly Johnson (2021) 79% EDIT “The final product is a melodramatically overwrought and narratively undercooked tragedy that episodically lumbers between an array of impassive characters.” – Film Inquiry Sep 4, 2021 Full Review The Dry (2021) 90% EDIT “There's just enough mystery and intrigue lingering at every begrimed frame of The Dry to keep the audience invested as its parallel secrets slowly unspool.” – Film Inquiry Dec 31, 2020 Full Review High Ground (2020) 90% EDIT “High Ground passes every landmark of the proliferating Meat Pie Western surge that has resurfaced in recent years but is unable to escape the kind of calculable cliches which movies of this ilk often fall prey to.” – Film Inquiry Dec 19, 2020 Full Review The Xrossing (2020) EDIT “The Xrossing steadily forms into a heartbreaking variation on familiar story beats that blends regional melodrama with a hard-edged crime-thriller muscularity.” – Film Inquiry Dec 5, 2020 Full Review Anne at 13,000 ft (2019) 89% EDIT “Unsettling but never satisfying, this is a difficult watching experience loaded with ideas that never articulate a reason why we're seeing just this chapter in her life.” – Film Inquiry Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Last and First Men (2020) 100% EDIT “This is a singular vision, made by a decade-defining artist we lost too soon and as a bold final, creative statement from beyond; it's pretty damn chilling in every respect.” – Film Inquiry Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Dark City Beneath the Beat (2020) 100% EDIT “Dark City Beneath the Beat is a whole-hearted, bonafide firework of a feature that acts as a necessary reminder of how important the arts, and the communal spaces that they occupy, are to our collective social and individual spirits.” – Film Inquiry Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Tenet (2020) 70% EDIT “Tenet is not a complete disaster, nor is it the messianic blockbuster that will help pull cinemas out of the rubble this year.” – Film Inquiry Aug 25, 2020 Full Review Hearts and Bones (2019) 81% EDIT “Hugo Weaving brings his naturally anchoring presence to this picture, bolstered by a terrific supporting cast which mixes newcomers and familiar Australian talent.” – Film Inquiry May 6, 2020 Full Review The Professor and the Madman (2019) 41% EDIT “The Professor and the Madman limps out as a woefully half-baked and overcooked spectacle that mistakes reality for relevance.” – Film Inquiry Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Diner (2019) EDIT “These action sequences, peppered in to a favourable degree, vibrate with an intense focus on pure, uncut entertainment; despite the hell that the poor waitress must endure, it sure makes for one hell of a rollercoaster ride for us at home.” – Film Inquiry Feb 15, 2020 Full Review Nobadi (2019) 60% EDIT “Nobadi successfully avoids being just another brazen genre exercise, its rapid alternation between blood and brotherhood is deftly weaved throughout its delicately modulated tone.” – Film Inquiry Feb 15, 2020 Full Review EDIT “Bea Joblin's self-financed debut is quite an admirable effort. This casual New Zealand comedy is a tribute to anybody that's picked up a camera and aimed it at their own kin.” – Film Inquiry Jan 31, 2020 Full Review True History of the Kelly Gang (2019) 80% EDIT “It's often punishing and resistant to facile translation, but there's no denying the merciless power that Justin Kurzel brings, equating to what I would consider his best film yet; the jarring contempt is balanced by its formal pleasures.” – Film Inquiry Jan 4, 2020 Full Review The Gentlemen (2019) 76% EDIT “The Gentlemen is certainly the cinematic rejuvenation that Guy Ritchie required if he wants to continue his storied career.” – Film Inquiry Dec 28, 2019 Full Review Come to Daddy (2019) 87% EDIT “Wood naturally carries the film on his shoulders, fluidly adapting to each new insane scenario that is thrown his way.” – Film Inquiry Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) 43% EDIT “However you may take in this rollercoaster of 90's cliches, this is a genuine crowdpleaser.” – Film Inquiry Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Measure for Measure (2019) 33% EDIT “Paul Ireland's much anticipated follow-up to Pawno is just too cluttered, riddled with characters who wallow in their own histrionics far too often, within situations that lack any real distinctive qualities.” – Film Inquiry Sep 12, 2019 Full Review Judy & Punch (2019) 77% EDIT “Mirrah Foulkes' folk tale of misogyny in the Middle Ages is sometimes mischievous, sometimes grim and sometimes utterly volatile, but never formulaic. Its inventive artifice is its greatest weapon.” – Film Inquiry Sep 10, 2019 Full Review Iron Fists and Kung Fu Kicks (2019) 88% EDIT “A slick, accessible package that delivers an abridged history of martial arts in films covers all the familiar bases, from its evolution as a genre.” – Film Inquiry Aug 27, 2019 Full Review
