Movies TV Shows
The Musical (2026) 55% 2.5/5 EDIT “A spiky, messy, occasionally brilliant comedy that points to a director with a distinct voice still finding her footing.” – The AU Review Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Big Girls Don't Cry (2026) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “It marks [Paloma] Schneideman as a filmmaker of rare sensitivity, and [Ani] Palmer as a startling new talent we’ll be watching for years to come.” – The AU Review Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Hot Water (2026) 91% 3/5 EDIT “As a debut, it’s a compelling glimpse of a filmmaker with a distinctive voice, even if the journey itself occasionally feels more interesting than the place it’s headed.” – The AU Review Feb 1, 2026 Full Review Union County (2026) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Could have been another familiar tale of addiction and despair, but what unfolds instead is something far more tender, searching, and quietly hopeful” – The AU Review Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Night Nurse (2026) 73% 2.5/5 EDIT “As it stands, however, Night Nurse feels like a tantalizing misfire: a film that looks and sounds seductive but too often moves at a crawl, mistaking slowness for depth.” – The AU Review Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 98% 5/5 EDIT “Josephine is not an easy watch, but it is a necessary one; A shattering, compassionate, and profoundly unsettling exploration of how violence reverberates long after the act itself is over.” – The AU Review Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Run Amok (2026) 69% 4/5 EDIT “A tender, unconventional, and deeply humane piece of art that honors the voices of those most often sidelined in conversations about tragedy” – The AU Review Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “Gross, goofy, and gleefully unhinged, Cold Storage is exactly what it promises to be.” – The AU Review Jan 30, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Bold, unsettling, and wickedly funny, Send Help stands as one of Raimi’s most provocative works in years.” – The AU Review Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Bedford Park (2026) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “Heartbreaking, beautifully acted, and deeply personal.” – The AU Review Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “It knows the formula it’s working with and embraces it wholeheartedly, delivering bruising action, sharp chemistry, and a playful swagger that makes the journey worthwhile – even if you’ve seen the road before.” – The AU Review Jan 26, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Secret Agent stands as one of the year’s most vital films: a work that pulses with anger, empathy and cinematic ambition, insisting that the past is never past, and that looking away is not an option.” – The AU Review Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Johannes Roberts understands the assignment with almost admirable single-mindedness with Primate.” – The AU Review Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “For those willing to lean into its rhythms, Blue Moon is richly rewarding. And for Hawke, it stands as a career-defining reminder of what happens when an actor fully surrenders to a role – not to impress, but to tell the truth.” – The AU Review Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 2/5 EDIT “It plays like a film that can’t decide whether it fears technology, worships it, or just wants to use it as a convenient set of shiny props.” – The AU Review Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “In the end, Marty Supreme is a thrilling, messy, exhausting ride – a film about belief as both weapon and liability.” – The AU Review Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 3.5/5 EDIT “Despite its streaming-service gloss, this is one of Netflix’s most confidently cinematic thrillers in recent memory: tense, bruising, and unapologetically adult.” – The AU Review Jan 16, 2026 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% 5/5 EDIT “A quietly devastating triumph, a film that proves how little spectacle is needed when moral tension, lived experience, and cinematic restraint are in perfect alignment.” – The AU Review Jan 15, 2026 Full Review SHEEPDOG (2025) 77% EDIT “In a cinematic landscape that often equates importance with volume, Sheepdog speaks softly - and listens closely. ” – Cinefied Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “It’s torturous and harrowingly beautiful in equal measure, a film that will leave audiences stunned, unsettled, and ultimately in awe. ” – The AU Review Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Grow (2025) 93% 3/5 EDIT “It turns out pumpkins have been waiting patiently for their cinematic moment. Grow gives it to them, and to us, with warmth, humour, and a surprising amount of heart.” – The AU Review Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Hamnet is a film about carrying love differently after loss: how it changes shape, how it finds new vessels, how it refuses to disappear. It doesn’t ask to be admired so much as felt. And once it settles inside you, it doesn’t leave.” – The AU Review Jan 11, 2026 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% EDIT “It’s a film that trusts atmosphere over exposition and feeling over logic — and in doing so, delivers something haunting, playful, and quietly moving.” – Cinefied Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “Like the song that gives it its name, it understands that happiness and sorrow often harmonise, whether we’re ready for them to or not.” – The AU Review Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 4/5 EDIT “What makes Anaconda work – far more than it has any right to – is its razor-sharp meta self-awareness.” – The AU Review Dec 23, 2025 Full Review
