Imagine (2025) 14.5/20 EDIT “Whatever it is, it is certainly not bland or monochrome.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 19/20 EDIT “… an absolutely superb piece of filmmaking …” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 25, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 18/20 EDIT “… a finely calibrated work that will move and please audiences.” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 22, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% 17/20 EDIT “The strength of the film is the sensitive playing between Mescal and O’Connor.” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Twiggy (2024) 100% 16/20 EDIT “… a nice little film about a very nice person.” – FILMINK (Australia) Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 14/20 EDIT “A lot of the film has the freewheeling individualistic style that Lynne Ramsay brought to her Morvern Callar (2002), but this one is much more ‘Hollywood’ in other ways. ” – FILMINK (Australia) Nov 2, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 18/20 EDIT “… isn’t nearly as good as Lanthimos’s The Favourite or The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Both had such masterful visual style combined with purity of intent. This is looser and more akin to The Lobster but, again, that is not half bad.” – FILMINK (Australia) Oct 26, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% 15/20 EDIT “... very funny and the small observations yield a steady stream of chuckles that makes you largely look past the film’s flaws.” – FILMINK (Australia) Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% 15/20 EDIT “… an energetic comedy of manners and a satire on modern marriage.” – FILMINK (Australia) Aug 29, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 96% 15/20 EDIT “... comparable to Bill Forsyth’s cult favourite Local Hero or even, in a different way, Fisherman’s Friends. These films trade off big events and a wide focus for the authenticity and charm of real characters having small but true moments.” – FILMINK (Australia) Aug 19, 2025 Full Review Mr. Burton (2025) 89% 17/20 EDIT “If the story is simple enough, it is the acting that lifts it out of the ordinary. ” – FILMINK (Australia) Aug 9, 2025 Full Review Ellis Park (2024) 100% 17/20 EDIT “... does indeed make one’s heart soar.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Wilding (2023) 92% 15/20 EDIT “... only making one point, which ... we know already. Still, nature is wonderful.” – FILMINK (Australia) May 19, 2025 Full Review National Theatre Live: Dr. Strangelove (2025) 10/20 EDIT “… a tribute band playing accurate covers but only serving to remind us of the gap between this and the original.” – FILMINK (Australia) Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 15/20 EDIT “The film swishes along at an elegant pace but whether it quite succeeds in making us invest is another matter. ” – FILMINK (Australia) Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2024) 91% 15/20 EDIT “… filled mostly with gentleness and understanding, but just occasionally flashes of anger …” – FILMINK (Australia) Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% 17/20 EDIT “… memorable and real and it will stay with you long after you have been subjected to it…” – FILMINK (Australia) Feb 25, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% 19/20 EDIT “Fernanda Torres gives a flawless rendition of a determined woman trying to hold it together and remain strong in the face of tightening contradictions.” – FILMINK (Australia) Feb 22, 2025 Full Review The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) 97% 18/20 EDIT “… a clever balance of domestic realism and national commentary that translates well to Western audiences.” – FILMINK (Australia) Feb 11, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 18/20 EDIT “[Chalamet’s] performance alone is worth the price of the ticket.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jan 20, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 18/20 EDIT “… a well-made film, which like its subject matter, feels built to last.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jan 7, 2025 Full Review Emilia Pérez (2024) 71% 18/20 EDIT “... bold and colourful ...” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 31, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 16/20 EDIT “… an unambitious film, well-realised enough to be a crowd pleaser.” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 28, 2024 Full Review Parthenope (2024) 47% 17/20 EDIT “… cinema to bathe in …” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 21, 2024 Full Review Memory (2023) 85% 17/20 EDIT “The film demands a certain patience but, if you meet it halfway, it is both human and moving.” – FILMINK (Australia) Oct 25, 2024 Full Review
