Bono: Stories of Surrender (2025) 75% EDIT “Haters will burn with renewed fire, but if you’ve ever had a soft spot for U2, it may just make you fall in love with them all over again.” – ABC News (Australia) Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% EDIT “McQuarrie and Cruise seem to have forgotten the fact that nobody goes to a Mission: Impossible picture for the plot.” – ABC News (Australia) May 23, 2025 Full Review Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) 14% EDIT “One of the ugliest self-portraits in the history of pop star movies, alternately self-loathing and self-pitying, solipsistic and grimly exhilarating. If you’re a scholar of pop stardom, it’s also essential.” – ABC News (Australia) May 21, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 78% EDIT “Coogan does nice work shading the moral ambiguities of his character, although the movie is ultimately resistant to exploring the thornier aspects of its political backdrop.” – ABC News (Australia) May 20, 2025 Full Review Small Things Like These (2024) 93% EDIT “As he did in Oppenheimer, Murphy suggests worlds of conflict beyond the word. In repose, his stillness says so much.” – ABC News (Australia) May 20, 2025 Full Review Oh Canada (2024) 66% EDIT “The film becomes a reckoning for a generation who set out to change the world with their art, their music, their movies — but for whom the end is fast approaching. What do they have to show for it?” – ABC News (Australia) Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 39% EDIT “As ever, the new version makes a great trailer for the original.” – ABC News (Australia) Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Flow (2024) 97% EDIT “It’s hard to remember the last time that Disney, DreamWorks or Pixar got anywhere near Flow’s sense of wonder or imagination.” – ABC News (Australia) Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 92% EDIT “Its stylistic accomplishment is less in reanimating history than making it live and breathe in the present — to interrogate ideas about the gaze, and what we as an audience bring to the table. ” – ABC News (Australia) Mar 10, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% EDIT “The Last Showgirl gets at something about Anderson to which we’ve never really been exposed — the actor, and the artist, behind the icon. ” – ABC News (Australia) Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Becoming Led Zeppelin (2025) 85% EDIT “Unlike so many fame-obsessed rock docs, there’s a dedicated focus on the music itself — as exclusively recounted by the people who made it.” – ABC News (Australia) Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% EDIT “The movie is hardly diminished by its conventional narrative punch. Soderbergh and Koepp keep the movie tense and twisty right through to its disquieting final image.” – ABC News (Australia) Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Maria (2024) 76% EDIT “A soulful, sometimes spooky glance at a diva at the edge of oblivion, and a portrait as rich, melancholy and moving as its subject.” – ABC News (Australia) Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% EDIT “Hancock might have leaned harder into his film’s underlying ideas, which are rich with potential. Still, the movie is entertaining, and more than a little mischievous.” – ABC News (Australia) Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Back in Action (2025) 31% EDIT “When the filmmaking is this generic, and the writing this uninspired, you do have to wonder how far we’re away from a movie like this being entirely, and indifferently, generated by AI.” – ABC News (Australia) Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 48% EDIT “Whannell strips away much of the familiar mythology, adding a fresh ripple to the tale with a tense, almost claustrophobic thriller that focuses on family — and the darkness lurking within” – ABC News (Australia) Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% EDIT “Jenkins might have been an inspired choice of director — and he’s approached the project with an admirable degree of sincerity — but even he can’t quite wrestle this film away from its creative redundancy. ” – ABC News (Australia) Dec 19, 2024 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024) 49% EDIT “The War of the Rohirrim proves there’s a limit to the spell a franchise can cast without the spark of its creator’s imagination. ” – ABC News (Australia) Dec 14, 2024 Full Review Rumours (2024) 76% EDIT “It all becomes a little repetitive, if not outright tiresome, at a certain point, once the filmmakers’ pursuit of the strange starts to outpace the flimsiness of their satire. Still, as you might expect from Maddin, there’s nothing else quite like it.” – ABC News (Australia) Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Goodrich (2024) 82% EDIT “Meyers-Shyer digs deeper than the material suggests, offering nuanced portraits of creative people who’ve spent their lives making (or curating) art at the expense of their emotional health.” – ABC News (Australia) Dec 9, 2024 Full Review Blitz (2024) 81% EDIT “There’s something quietly subversive about McQueen smuggling this story of the dispossessed into the stuffy old World War II drama.” – ABC News (Australia) Dec 9, 2024 Full Review The Piano Lesson (2024) 88% EDIT “It feels like nothing short of an exorcism — and proof of the enduring power of Wilson’s work.” – ABC News (Australia) Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Here (2024) 36% EDIT “Here’s emotional effect is cumulative and, thanks to expert performances from the two leads, in many ways quite moving.” – ABC News (Australia) Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% EDIT “A striking 21st century pop fable, connecting its grinning curse to the malevolent effects of superstardom.” – ABC News (Australia) Oct 17, 2024 Full Review Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (2024) 98% EDIT “While Super/Man is largely a conventional documentary portrait, there’s no doubt that it’s a moving one.” – ABC News (Australia) Oct 12, 2024 Full Review
