Beautiful Lies (2010) 39% EDIT “Falling short on charm and chuckles, audiences will be hard-pressed to care what happens to these contrived and largely unsympathetic characters.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jul 19, 2011 Full Review My Sister's Keeper (2009) 47% EDIT “[Cassavetes] refuses to let the material speak for itself, putting a famous-for-making-women-cry song behind almost every scene, and lingering on every sentimental moment.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jul 31, 2009 Full Review Every Little Step (2008) 91% EDIT “Just as powerful as the original musical -- keeps you glued to the fascinating and heartbreaking audition process.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jun 30, 2009 Full Review Sunshine Cleaning (2008) 74% EDIT “It's not that Sunshine Cleaning is a bad film, more that it uses the gnarly cleaning matter as bait, and then fails to deliver the goods. What remains is enjoyable, but not so much that you'd want to go back for seconds.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jun 12, 2009 Full Review Elegy (2008) 74% EDIT “An intelligent tale of aging, beauty, love and loss.” – FILMINK (Australia) Apr 10, 2009 Full Review Good (2008) 34% EDIT “It inevitably leaves a mark upon you, but with a more considered portrayal, it could have permeated the viewer like an indelible stain.” – FILMINK (Australia) Apr 10, 2009 Full Review Ghost Town (2008) 85% EDIT “In different hands, this could have been forgettably saccharine fare, but Gervais' genius and an excellent cast of bit players turn it into solidly acerbic entertainment.” – FILMINK (Australia) Feb 13, 2009 Full Review Rachel Getting Married (2008) 85% EDIT “The film's only drawback is that, like Kym, it doesn't know when to stop. The intimate feel of a home movie is uniformly matched by an over-indulgent running time.” – FILMINK (Australia) Feb 13, 2009 Full Review The Class (2008) 95% EDIT “It's a remarkably intelligent film, which adroitly portrays a microcosm of society through a high school classroom.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jan 22, 2009 Full Review I've Loved You So Long (2008) 89% EDIT “Viewers will likely guess Juliette's secret, but the strength of the film is that, despite its bleakness, you want to stay with Juliette to the very end to hear it from her mouth.” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 26, 2008 Full Review Sex Drive (2008) 46% EDIT “Sex Drive starts off well, but quickly deteriorates into a compilation of rehashed jokes that go for the lowest common denominator every time.” – FILMINK (Australia) Nov 14, 2008 Full Review
