Next Goal Wins (2023) 46% EDIT “Does provide some cheery, if predictable, family viewing, but it lacks originality and that certain special spark that made the director’s earlier films, such as Boy, so delightfully, laugh-out-loud funny.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Jules (2023) 86% EDIT “Unashamedly sentimental, with a plot as ridiculous as that garish hairdo, Jules underneath it all is that rarest of modern movies: a heartwarming tale about people of a certain age finding comfort, community, and companionship in one another.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 25, 2023 Full Review All the Old Knives (2022) 63% EDIT “It may not be fresh, new, or revolutionary, but as a consistently intriguing, complex, and cleverly told thriller...” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Apr 19, 2022 Full Review In the Heights (2021) 94% EDIT “For anyone who loves old school musicals and regrets how they don't make them like that anymore, I've got good news for you. They do. And they did.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 16, 2021 Full Review The Trip to Greece (2020) 88% 2/5 EDIT “Sad to say, it seems less really is more when it comes to comedians making tired old quips on exotic trips.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 11, 2020 Full Review The Gentlemen (2019) 76% 3/5 EDIT “"If you can excuse Ritchie's macho-centric world, with its constant c-word curses and racist slurs, then there is plenty to relish."” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Dec 19, 2019 Full Review The Two Popes (2019) 89% 3/5 EDIT “Despite the acting masterclass, clever humour and sumptuous visuals, it's a film that feels based on wishful, feel-good fiction, rather than thorny fact.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Dec 15, 2019 Full Review The King (2019) 71% 4/5 EDIT “An accessible, intelligent tragedy of a reluctant young monarch, thrown into a world of savage politics and brutal battle.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Nov 3, 2019 Full Review The Goldfinch (2019) 24% 2/5 EDIT “Simply recounting the book's plot isn't enough to engage.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Late Night (2019) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Often funny, with top-tier supporting cast, it's a surprisingly old-fashioned comedy of manners.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Toy Story 4 (2019) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Josh Cooley's direction keeps the pace sprightly and the voice cast and animators knock it out the park...” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 16, 2019 Full Review Sometimes Always Never (2018) 82% 4/5 EDIT “In Nighy, the witty script leaps to life, in a tour-de-force of darkly downbeat comedic timing...” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 6, 2019 Full Review All Is True (2018) 73% 2/5 EDIT “Perhaps the most insurmountable issue is the contrast between the quotes from Shakespeare's sonnets and plays and the trite dialogue he's given here.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) May 6, 2019 Full Review The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir (2018) 61% 3/5 EDIT “The film proves optimistic and full of enough feel-good humanity to make the journey, if not essential, then certainly worthwhile.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) May 1, 2019 Full Review Dumbo (2019) 46% 3/5 EDIT “Tim Burton delivers his best family movie in ages...” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Mar 27, 2019 Full Review Stan & Ollie (2018) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Coogan and Reilly are a perfectly matched pair, with Reilly's chubby, double-chinned make-up and prosthetics a seamless blend of art and artifice.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Feb 8, 2019 Full Review The Mule (2018) 70% 2/5 EDIT “Long-time Eastwood fans may enjoy the legend's craggy face and dry humour, but the subject matter deserves a better script...” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jan 20, 2019 Full Review The Kid Who Would Be King (2019) 90% 3/5 EDIT “The Kid Who Would Be King is an enjoyable family romp that never takes itself too seriously, outside its core message of unity and how working together we can prevail over the dastardliest foes.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jan 13, 2019 Full Review Sink or Swim (2018) 79% 3/5 EDIT “If you give in to its Gallic male-bonding charms, it swims more often than it sinks, thanks to a cracking cast, solid direction and cinematography, and lightly comedic touch.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Dec 17, 2018 Full Review At Eternity's Gate (2018) 79% 2/5 EDIT “Whilst close-ups of Dafoe's face, and wobbly point of view shots serve to convey inner struggle, if you go in unaware of the artist's life and work, it's tough to know what's going on, without knowing what's gone before.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Dec 17, 2018 Full Review Creed II (2018) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Though it lacks the knockout blow of Ryan Coogler's first, unable to live up to the genuine surprise of a great series spin-off, it's still an entertaining contender.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Nov 27, 2018 Full Review Dr. Seuss' The Grinch (2018) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Little ones will love it, but kids over eight and accompanying adults may be less forgiving of a short story stretched to snapping point for the big screen.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Nov 23, 2018 Full Review Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) 60% 3/5 EDIT “This isn't a documentary, rather reality reimagined as a highly entertaining, bombastic fairy tale.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 29, 2018 Full Review Selma (2014) 99% 4/5 EDIT “Director Ava DuVernay retains a firm grasp throughout, balancing the epic and intimate, personal and political.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 15, 2018 Full Review Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot (2018) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Neither an easy title, nor an easy film, but its focus on self-acceptance as a route to recovery is well worth the effort.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 4, 2018 Full Review
