8% Runner Runner (2013) " It's not so much the well-worn template that's the problem here, it's the superficiality with which the story unspools." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 25, 2013
64% One Direction: This Is Us (2013) " Perhaps the nicest surprise of the doco is that, despite emerging from the manufactured pop machine, these boys feel refreshingly grounded and they're not taking their success for granted. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 16, 2013
26% Jobs (2013) " It admittedly feels like something of a missed opportunity, with director, Joshua Michael Stern, often more concerned with checking off bullet points than digging into the complexities of its leading man. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 10, 2013
71% The Stone Roses: Made of Stone () " Some may find Meadow's lack of journalistic rigour frustrating, but the filmmaker has ultimately created something different - a heartfelt tribute to one of Britain's most important bands, as seen through the eyes of its fans." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 10, 2013
34% Salinger (2013) " An occasionally illuminating doco about the infamously reclusive author, but one that feels almost inevitably over-hyped. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 5, 2013

Posted Aug 11, 2013
69% Greetings From Tim Buckley (2013) " an admittedly slight but resonant and lingering look at two truly singular talents - their flaws presented alongside their musical gifts - who were haunted by the presence of each other throughout their careers." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 30, 2013
95% Behind the Candelabra (2013) " It's ultimately a story about the power imbalances in relationships, and the quietly devastating way that couples can build one another up, only to tear each other down." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 23, 2013
98% Before Midnight (2013) " It's a brave, challenging and essential installment in what is one of modern cinema's finest trilogies." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 15, 2013
84% This Is the End (2013) " While bewildering for those unfamiliar with the Judd Apatow clan, for fans, this raunchy, daring and gleeful comedy comes up trumps." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jul 15, 2013
98% Mud (2013) " Just like its lead character, this film is packed to the brim with sadness, swagger and soul." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jun 23, 2013
49% The Great Gatsby (2013) " Luhrmann understands Fitzgerald's book and brings the writer's classic prose to life on cinematic terms that feel thrilling, visceral and immediate." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted May 26, 2013
66% Spring Breakers (2013) " In many ways, this trashy, dazzling but enigmatic film belongs to Franco's Alien, a wannabe gangsta who just doesn't have the guts or heart to be a cold-hearted thug." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted May 8, 2013
95% The Hunt (2013) " This is unshakeable storytelling, which is fitting for a film that reveals how certain damage can never be undone." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 30, 2013
93% No (2013) " A bitingly funny, fascinating and moving portrait of Pinochet's fall that's smartly shot and superbly performed. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 27, 2013
84% Sleepwalk With Me (2012) " ...just like the most memorable stand-up routines, there's a twinge of tragedy and pathos in the mix that make the laughs linger and the story stick." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 4, 2013
70% The Loneliest Planet (2012) " ...simmering just beneath its quiet, beautiful surface are endless questions to do with relationships and trust, and how they're tied to our expectations regarding masculinity." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Mar 21, 2013
96% War Witch (2013) " War Witch is remarkable for the fact that it never strays into sentimentality or sensationalism. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Mar 21, 2013
55% I Give It a Year (2013) " Its premise is an original and audacious one, but it ultimately gives way to all the cliches of the genre it is attempting to subvert. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Feb 25, 2013
43% The Paperboy (2012) " But what does it have going for it? It has an undeniable pulse." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Feb 25, 2013
92% Silver Linings Playbook (2012) " It may be a Hollywood comedy, but it's one that feels beautifully alive." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Feb 11, 2013
13% Safe Haven (2013) " While all the emotionally manipulative factors are at play here, how does this end up one of Sparks' better screen adaptations?" — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Feb 11, 2013
52% This is 40 (2012) " A sprawling but smart and generous-hearted comedy whose knockout laughs come steeped in brutal honesty. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Jan 16, 2013
93% Zero Dark Thirty (2013) " ...a nail-biting thriller of the first order, but also a confronting gut-wrencher which - though never driven by ideology or politics - inevitably pulls the audience into ambiguous moral territory." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Dec 16, 2012
81% Pitch Perfect (2012) " It's formulaic, but it conjures up its own offbeat vibe and the musical numbers are gold. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Dec 7, 2012
70% Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012) " A sassy and charming romantic comedy where the loosely scripted laughs play authentically and sometimes painfully. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Nov 29, 2012
85% The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) " A stellar adaptation and a beautifully crafted coming-of-age tale that comes wrapped in all the promise and possibility of adolescence. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Nov 29, 2012
64% 2 Days in New York (2012) " Delpy seems fascinated by the way that time and life experience change people's perceptions and attitudes, but not their cores." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Nov 20, 2012
48% The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012) " ...ends on a surprising and admirably audacious note, given the more routine closer that may have been anticipated." — FILMINK (Australia)

Posted Oct 24, 2012

Posted Oct 24, 2012
66% We Bought a Zoo (2011) " ...this is packed with all the warmth, heart and humanity that one has come to expect from a Cameron Crowe film. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 24, 2012
20% The Lucky One (2012) " Falling victim to his source material, Hicks fails to invest it with any sort of edge, rendering the cinematic version as mawkish and saccharine as Sparks' bloated prose." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 24, 2012
72% Like Crazy (2011) " "Are you a romantic or a realist? Like Crazy is the rare romantic drama made for both."" — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 24, 2012
22% What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012) " The charismatic cast (particularly Banks and Lopez) manage to find the humanity in their clichéd roles but they can't transcend all the surface-level schmaltz on display here." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 24, 2012
83% Your Sister's Sister (2012) " It's in the completely natural interactions between this gifted cast that the film really hits its groove." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 24, 2012
75% Damsels in Distress (2012) " And while it occasionally feels a little wobbly, it grows more sure of itself and richer as it goes along." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 24, 2012
44% On the Road (2012) " This adaptation may not "burn, burn, burn" with quite the same intensity as the novel, but it kicks and thrusts with a joy and yearning of its own." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 18, 2012
—— Paul Kelly: Stories of Me () " A polished and inspired documentary which deftly attempts to understand Paul Kelly through his words and music. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 18, 2012
40% Mental (2013) " Taking its stylistic cues from its wild leading lady, this daring and darkly-hued comedy matches its subversive laughs with genuine heart. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Oct 2, 2012
79% Ruby Sparks (2012) " Layered with smarts, charm and originality, but also packing a hefty emotional punch, this has all the hallmarks of an indie classic. " — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Sep 20, 2012
90% Bernie (2012) " A truly strange and original creation, based on a true story, which doesn't judge its curious characters." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Aug 16, 2012
92% The Sapphires (2013) " ...infectious, celebratory storytelling..." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Aug 10, 2012
14% Ecstasy (2012) " A crass and shallow exploration of a potentially interesting topic, which makes for one downer of a cinematic trip." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 26, 2012
80% Spud () " A touch more quirky than the average coming-of-age tale, there's a bit of schmaltz here, but this also brims with humour, heart and honesty." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 20, 2012
100% Life In Movement () " Deftly compiled and packed with revealing footage, this is a beautiful tribute to its subject, and also an eye-opening look into the emotional power of art." — FILMINK (Australia)
Posted Apr 13, 2012
34% Battleship (2012) " With its undeniably preposterous premise, there's a silliness that underlies close to every scene of Battleship." — FILMINK (Australia)
