Marty Supreme (2025) Stephen A. Russell Marty Supreme is propulsive fun, all go, go, gosh, he’s a liability.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Stephen A. Russell Once again, we’ll land on astonishingly incongruous, wildly beguiling tenderness ... majestic filmmaking at its finest.
Posted Jan 15, 2026  Edit critic review
Christy (2025) Sarah Ward A successful showcase for Sweeney’s dramatic talents ... Christy knows how to sting, and also how to float.

Sinners (2025) Mel Campbell Rollickingly original … Contain[s] such intricate commentaries on cultural power regimes that I could write [a] whole book about them – yet in moments of pure performance they resonate intuitively.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Mel Campbell Bronstein’s fever dream of maternal burnout takes us inside Linda’s (Rose Byrne) tortured psyche, tearing sound and visuals apart like a birth injury – but in an intensely multisensory way that keeps us wondering if ‘this is really happening’.

Bird (2024) Mel Campbell I’m still exhilarated by how deftly Arnold infuses her trademark social realism with ancient, wild magic. … It’s atavistically satisfying: the wondrous opposite of folk horror.

Carol (2015) Mel Campbell Haynes’s swooningly meticulous 1950s period detail [is] an ideological frame these two women gaze past and through, like Therese through her camera’s viewfinder, so they can access the romantic intimacy of being in love at Christmas as their true selves.
Posted Dec 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Krampus (2015) Mel Campbell It’s wild that this frankly unsettling folkloric figure has been relatively unexplored in horror movies. Hardcore slasher fans might find Krampus too family-friendly – all tinkle and no bell. But [it] indulges our inarticulate craving for pagan justice…

Love the Coopers (2015) Mel Campbell Critics in 2015 hated this aggressively schmaltzy ensemble family dramedy. I, however, warmly recommend this star-studded feast of emotional manipulation … Be ready for an absurd late twist revealing the identity of the wistful narrator (Steve Martin).

The Night Before (2015) Mel Campbell Rather sweetly, it turns familiar, raucous bro-antics into a pageant about accepting the party’s over. … Bearish and exuberant, Seth Rogen’s Isaac gets absolutely off his holiday-sweatered tits [while] US comedy faces show up like sixpences in a pudding.

Joy (2015) Mel Campbell What makes ‘Joy’ peak Christmas viewing is that its plucky, practical heroine succeeds while carrying her bumbling family … Joy’s best revenge is to blanket them in a snowfall of generosity they know they don’t deserve.

The Serpent's Skin (2025) Stephen A. Russell Proud trans filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay recalls the likes of Reiner Werner Fassbinder with her fiercely DIY approach ... burns with bountiful hope.

Bump: A Christmas Film (2025) Sarah Ward Bump serves up a reminder of why viewers have loved spending time in its company.

Nugget Is Dead? A Christmas Story (2024) Sarah Ward Before the pair [Jenna Owen and Vic Zerbst] were satirising the PR industry astutely and amusingly, they tackled dysfunctional families come the merriest time on the calendar, with the same winning results.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
How to Make Gravy (2024) Sarah Ward There’s not a bad performance among the cast.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Jones Family Christmas (2023) Sarah Ward There’s a sense of both sentimentality and weight to this Heather Mitchell-led dramedy.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Christmas Ransom (2022) Sarah Ward As the likeable-enough movie unfurls its seasonal antics in a family-owned toy store that’s seen more profitable days, it also adds a Die Hard angle.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Christmas on the Farm (2021) Sarah Ward This saccharine-toned, sunnily shot picture happily and eagerly plays out exactly as viewers expect from its first moments.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
A Sunburnt Christmas (2020) Sarah Ward Thanks to Daniel Henshall as hapless crook Daryl, a playful sense of humour, and the keen eye of cinematographer Dylan River, A Sunburnt Christmas is entertainingly more than the sum of its recognisable parts.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Bush Christmas (1983) Sarah Ward Witnessing Kidman’s acting origins and digging into Australian cinema history are the film’s main drawcard more than 40 years later.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Highest 2 Lowest (2025) Sarah Ward Get Lee and Washington throwing everything they have into an exploration of what it truly takes to make a mark, the cost and challenges, and the battle for genuine fulfilment along the way, and the result is all highs and no lows.

Hamnet (2025) Stephen A. Russell Buckley blisters and cracks our souls in this final act, with no amount of onscreen audience shooshing preventing eyes wet with tears that flow beyond the veil in Zhao’s triumph.
Posted Dec 08, 2025  Edit critic review
The History of Sound (2025) Stephen A. Russell Hermanus’ impeccably liminal filmmaking captures the vibration of aching: the very echoes of a cherished song long silenced.
Posted Nov 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Cactus Pears (2025) Stephen A. Russell An impeccably crafted film with stunning score, cinematography and sublimely understated performances ... this Sundance beauty that I caught in Adelaide will haunt my heart forevermore.
Posted Oct 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Queer as Punk (2025) Stephen A. Russell Their mighty resistance movement clashes with a religious extremist government that actively hounds LGBTQIA+ people ... with the frontman’s personal journey towards top surgery and family acceptance ... gloriously upbeat ... What’s more punk than that?
Posted Oct 30, 2025  Edit critic review
Plainclothes (2025) Stephen A. Russell A tantalisingly slow-burn 90s-set drama ... The audience is held claustrophobically tight as the cat-and-mouse game plays out.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Wolfram (2025) Stephen A. Russell The history of this place is fraught, constantly shifting like sand. Few filmmakers perceive these movements as clearly as Thornton, who once again has delivered a film for the ages.
Posted Oct 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Penny Lane Is Dead (2025) Stephen A. Russell A 90-minute blast of toxic masculinity smashing that will have you hooting and hollering along
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Bugonia (2025) Stephen A. Russell Watching Plemons and a stubbled Stone wrestle psychologically is even more thrilling than their physical head-to-head, and Delbis’ doubt spiralling is queasy in the extreme
Posted Oct 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) Stephen A. Russell Australian star Odessa Young is easily the most impressive cast member, managing to make scant scraps shine through her careworn charm ... More mediocre than morbidly bad ... deeply disappointing Springsteen biopic feels like it’s on a road to nowhere.
Posted Oct 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Frankenstein (2025) Stephen A. Russell A vanishing rarity in today’s cinema, del Toro can stage, however long it takes, vastly intricate films that lean heavily on the real ... Enmeshed with practical effects wherever possible, his productions invite us to believe in the fantasy.
Posted Oct 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Jimpa (2025) Stephen A. Russell Jimpa is an invitation to disagree better, bond stronger and love freer. If your heart is open, there’s much reward to be found in Hyde’s supple care.

2.5/5
Ice Road: Vengeance (2025) Anthony Morris It’s probably not a good sign when the most interesting moment in an action movie comes when a bunch of bus passengers have to repair their vehicle using parts salvaged from a bunch of wrecks at the bottom of a cliff

William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996) Stephen A. Russell Relocating the action to the fictional US enclave of Verona Beach, with some scenes shot in Miami but the majority in Mexico City, the jaw-dropping film exists in the sweet spot between Luhrmann’s tendency towards too much and his knack for tenderness.
Posted Sep 24, 2025  Edit critic review
5/5
One Battle After Another (2025) Stephen A. Russell As funny as Anderson’s magnificently audacious One Battle After Another is, this this is no sitcom. Instead, it’s one of the most propulsively engaging, politically fired-up action thrillers you’ll see all year.
Posted Sep 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Not Only Fred Dagg But Also John Clarke (2025) Stephen A. Russell Writer/director Lorin Clarke’s remarkable effort in weaving so much material together and measuring against too much hagiography in favour of insights and giggles in equal measure shows that the apple hasn’t fallen too far from Fred Dagg’s tree.

Journey Home, David Gulpilil (2025) Stephen A. Russell Journey Home, David Gulpilil is a fitting tribute to an incomparable talent.

Zombucha! (2025) Stephen A. Russell As Zombucha!’s gleefully daft set-up continues to spiral out of control, getting sillier and sillier as it goes, this Shaun of the Dead-adjacent hoot continues to accrue surreal subplots, culminating in a glorious backyard brawl of apocalyptic mayhem.
Posted Aug 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Beast of War (2025) Stephen A. Russell Daft fun, despite or because of the oodles of organs oozing out of gruesome flesh ruptures, Smith’s leading man presence and the weight of history that brings to Beast of War lends Roache-Turner’s admirable addition to Jaws’ lineage extra kick.
Posted Aug 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Eddington (2025) Stephen A. Russell Ari Aster exhumes Western bones and sets them alight through our warped contemporary lens, cracks and all.
Posted Aug 07, 2025  Edit critic review
When Fall Is Coming (2024) Stephen A. Russell When Fall is Coming gleams where shadows should linger, all the while shining a light on our complicit desires.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Stephen A. Russell A lovingly styled, spirited and cheerily sweet, out-of-time capsule unbothered by the minutiae of the MCU.
Posted Jul 23, 2025  Edit critic review
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Stephen A. Russell Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should
Posted Jul 01, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Head South (2024) Mel Campbell More special than your average nostalgic coming-of-age musical. While its lovely home-movie-textured cinematography subtly evokes its era, its themes are melancholy, even gothic – and not just in the post-punk sense.
Posted Jun 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Mixed Nuts (1994) Mel Campbell Reviled by critics who’d expected another Sleepless in Seattle from Ephron, it’s salty but moreish. People discover unexpected connections and alliances in their community, rather than from their families.
Posted Jun 21, 2025  Edit critic review
The Merry Gentlemen (2024) Mel Campbell Like The Full Monty, but without the class consciousness.
Posted Jun 21, 2025  Edit critic review
28 Years Later (2025) Stephen A. Russell Of all the things I expected going into 28 Years Later, the last thing on my mind was beauty. But here it is in abundance. Bounding far beyond the premise of most zombie movies, Boyle and Garland continually push our expectations onto the back foot.
Posted Jun 19, 2025  Edit critic review
The Golden Spurtle (2025) Stephen A. Russell The Golden Spurtle is no reality TV show where everyone’s a traitor, looking to stick in the knife in and out, damned spot. It’s refreshingly wholesome, like porridge itself.

4/5
Dangerous Animals (2025) Anthony Morris This boat is a vessel for a very big performance from [Jai] Courtney and he doesn’t steer it wrong

Fwends (2025) Stephen A. Russell Fwends packs plenty of heart into this weekend away.
