The Nest (2020) 90% EDIT “It's a slow-burn, but it burns nonetheless and the eerie music steps aside occasionally for some excellent '80s bangers.” – The Post NZ Dec 17, 2021 Full Review Crisis (2021) 66% EDIT “Ultimately, it's hard to get emotionally invested with these thinly written characters.” – The Post NZ Dec 17, 2021 Full Review Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band (2019) 84% EDIT “If Get Back has you pining for more music documentaries about influential bands of the '60s, this offers a more traditional band biography, with a more traditional running-time.” – The Post NZ Dec 10, 2021 Full Review 8-Bit Christmas (2021) 84% EDIT “8-Bit Christmas is a new family comedy that works well for the young crowd and will resonate strongly with those of us raised in the '80s.” – The Post NZ Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Seberg (2019) 36% EDIT “One of those movies you can't believe is based on a true story, it does get a bit melodramatic on occasion, but maybe that's realistic, it is a movie about an actress after all.” – The Post NZ Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Unpregnant (2020) 92% EDIT “While Richardson plays it straight, Ferreira runs riot in her debut role, and it feels like you're watching the birth of a star like seeing Ryan Reynolds in Van Wilder or Jonah Hill in Superbad.” – The Post NZ Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Magic Mike (2012) 78% EDIT “It's a movie about fake people that doesn't feel fake.” – The Post NZ Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Shadow in the Cloud (2020) 77% EDIT “Writer-director Roseanne Liang (Creamiere) has created a clever, low-budget, high-wire genre piece that really works. It's an inventive thrill ride that hopefully yields a blank cheque for whatever she wants to make next.” – The Post NZ Nov 30, 2021 Full Review There is No I in Threesome (2021) 86% EDIT “It's an incredibly brave piece of work, but it's a painful journey.” – The Post NZ Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Nobody (2021) 83% EDIT “Even better is Odenkirk who trained for two years to become an action hero - and owns it.” – The Post NZ Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Lion (2016) 84% EDIT “The India scenes, the India cast, everyone involved is spot on, especially young Sunny Pawar.” – The Post NZ Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Roald Dahl's The Witches (2020) 50% EDIT “Thankfully, the new version is less scary than the original, although I personally wouldn't be showing it to anyone under 10, it's still quite scary. But also great!.” – The Post NZ Nov 19, 2021 Full Review 15 Minutes of Shame (2021) 82% EDIT “There aren't many answers per se, but it's a worthy topic and not an issue that's going away anytime soon. At the very least, this should make you think twice about putting your hands on the keyboard in anger.” – The Post NZ Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Gravity (2013) 96% EDIT “A taut thrill ride.” – The Post NZ Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind (2018) 94% EDIT “Gloriously, it was even better than I even hoped and I realised there was a lot about Williams I never knew.” – The Post NZ Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Elizabeth is Missing (2019) 93% EDIT “I can't speak highly enough about Glenda Jackson in this feature-length drama.” – The Post NZ Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Arrival (2016) 94% EDIT “One of the most beautiful, emotional and original science-fiction films of the last decade.” – The Post NZ Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Spookers (2017) 88% EDIT “Equal parts bizarre and brilliant.” – The Post NZ Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Minari (2020) 98% EDIT “Funny, sad, thoughtful, endearing, it's one of those movies that gets everything right. Yes, it's an astutely observed insight to the immigrant experience in 1980s USA, but it's also just a great movie about human beings being awesome.” – The Post NZ Oct 25, 2021 Full Review Moonrise Kingdom (2012) 93% EDIT “Wes Anderson's love letter to young love is a pure cinematic delight from go to whoa.” – The Post NZ Oct 18, 2021 Full Review Summerland (2020) 78% EDIT “It's a little whimsical, melodramatic and romantic, but, for some will be just the sweet syrup the doctor ordered.” – The Post NZ Oct 18, 2021 Full Review The Grand Seduction (2013) 60% EDIT “Based on a charming French film of the same name, it's safe, laid-back Sunday night viewing involving rural Canadians attempting to play a ridiculous game called cricket.” – The Post NZ Oct 18, 2021 Full Review Logan Lucky (2017) 92% EDIT “Thoroughly satisfying popcorn fodder.” – The Post NZ Oct 18, 2021 Full Review Whip It (2009) 86% EDIT “It's a funny, feel good, feminist film that throws elbows, pulls no punches and features a fantastic food fight.” – The Post NZ Oct 1, 2021 Full Review Hearts and Bones (2019) 81% EDIT “Restrained, but powerful performances do the heavy lifting in this well-observed, well-told story.” – The Post NZ Oct 1, 2021 Full Review
