One of my favourite genres is slasher films, and there's a certain joy that I get when I watch them. It's even the ones that aren't necessarily great, to me they're hangout films. You hang out with a ...

Koberidze creates a conversation with all of the shifting moments of reality that exist for the individual and then become irrevocably “something else” when they form symbolic vestiges.

Practical Magic 2 is the kind of movie that one watches silently begging to do something. Be braver and bolder, be better, be mildly enchanting. Be more than nostalgia with diminishing returns.

Almost enough to revisit Exorcist II: The Heretic with new eyes, although even the stars of the film don’t recommend that.

All the details of how to control and occupy a people are placed from that (British colonial) moment. The British were experts at it by the time they came to Palestine.

Martin McKenna’s long-gestating film Wilderness very occasionally allows glimpses of a better film he chose not to make. It gives me absolutely no pleasure to write a review of a small budget Australi...

Perhaps the best thing about Sam Voutas’ inventive black comedy is that it’s near impossible to avoid thinking of people you’d willingly send to the island, proving that there’s a bit of pettiness to ...

I feel very strongly that we are when you are given the opportunity to make a film, you get to build your own world around it, and you get to build the environment that you shoot in, and I think I fee...

Instinctually, you know what you know. No one really knows the film better than you. I mean, there are logistical things that people know better, and there are technical things that people know better...

It is steadfast in its portrait of the family at their best and at their most exhausted and frayed. With the camera picking up not only the conversations and arguments, but also the physical dynamic o...

I Want Your Sex is a comic masterpiece with Araki sparing no one. The contemporary art world is far from groundbreaking, Erika is “over the hill” by her late 30s, Apple is fragile to the point where s...

The Leader is observant and chilling; boasting one of Vera Farmiga’s most robust performances.

The Loneliest Man in Town is a muted masterwork. Touching, gentle, sometimes very funny, and within its specificity speaks of something universal.

Ira Sachs The Man I Love screens at the Melbourne International Film Festival on 8, 16, & 23 August 2026. Tickets are available here: The Man I LoveRami Malek captivates as an HIV-positive man who co...

Kim Novak emerges from her memories as a fully realised human who is revitalised by the chance to speak openly about her biggest fear to find it overcome. Kim Novak discovers Kim Novak and she likes h...

On July 1st of this year, the metaphorical tolling of the bell rang out to warn us all of an impending funeral. On this day, Sony Entertainment quietly dropped a notice on their official blog that the...

Sour Minnows is inventive, bizarre, funny, and utterly nightmarish.

With a handful of titles to her name, Bailey Spalding has already left a major mark on the Australian film industry. From working on the kids show Hi-5 at a young age to stepping onto an international...

No Rest for the Wicked is a sublimely beautiful film about love that uses tones of folklore and horror to carve an atmosphere of Gothic Romanticism.

A fabulous and inventive deadpan comedy about being the squarest pegs rendered in a brilliantly odd animation style.

There’s something fundamentally grotesque about Vaniček’s vision that is obnoxious rather than menacing.

We've all seen, or we've all met, a Kat.

Lidia does describe immediately that this experience that we're about to receive is a gift from her. It feels literary right off the bat and it's chaotic and nonlinear and fractured.

The 30th Edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival is set for July 16 — August 2 in Montreal. This year sees some extremely exciting world premieres plus a solid contingent of Australian fea...

My biggest challenge was to create a shift. To start with a social environment, and basically to examine what it does to the people offering themselves every day and being treated like they are treate...

The film was made because I feel like a lot of the progress we have made in the last couple of decades has really regressed lately
