The Shrouds (2024) 75% EDIT “If you can count on any filmmaker to deliver their own confounding, provocative obituary while they’re still (thankfully!) living and walking amongst us, it’s Cronenberg.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 14, 2024 Full Review MaXXXine (2024) 73% EDIT “Disappointing and half-baked conclusion to a pair of more fresh-feeling horror homages.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Polite Society (2023) 91% EDIT “Karate-chops through genre tropes to deliver something exhaustingly fun, with a heartfelt story of sisterhood as its foundation.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) May 29, 2024 Full Review Blue Jean (2022) 96% EDIT “Manages to work our nerves on both a familiar, personal level and a historical sapphic perspective that will, in its strongest moments, ring true to any queer viewer.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) May 29, 2024 Full Review Sasquatch Sunset (2024) 71% EDIT “Without too many big ideas (or even dialogue) to latch onto, Sasquatch Sunset can feel more like a deranged acting exercise, or a movement coach’s highlight reel, than the emotionally impactful and unique story the film has been sold as.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) May 29, 2024 Full Review Jaws the Revenge (1987) 2% EDIT “This is a Christmas film; a film about grief, about the importance of tracking snail migration; a clipshow of one of the greatest films of all time.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) May 29, 2024 Full Review La Chimera (2023) 95% EDIT “Rohrwacher’s splendid new movie doesn’t want to disturb or subvert the rhythms of its laid-back crime story - only to shed light where it’s deserved, on forgotten and heartbreaking history.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Apr 10, 2024 Full Review The First Omen (2024) 83% EDIT “A nasty yet welcome surprise, reminding us of the religious horror genre’s greatest hits while introducing us to bold new talents.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Love Lies Bleeding (2024) 94% EDIT “This movie is a good goddamned time. Especially for the gals who’ve been waiting for a full-blown, gratuitous lesbian K.Stew role like this.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Mar 12, 2024 Full Review A Haunting in Venice (2023) 76% EDIT “Despite some genre-hesitant stuffiness, A Haunting In Venice still feels more substantial than the other two Poirot adaptations. There are enough nifty little clues that lock into a satisfying bigger picture, and Poirot’s arc gives the film momentum.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Sep 13, 2023 Full Review The Nun II (2023) 51% EDIT “The Nun II redeems its less-than-divine predecessor, and is packed with plenty of solidly spooky, memorable moments.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Chevalier (2022) 76% EDIT “Even if it does skew a little towards TV miniseries broadness, Chevalier is rousing in all the right places, and at the very least serves as a welcome introduction to a forgotten musical legend.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Talk to Me (2023) 94% EDIT “It might’ve been slightly oversold to horrorheads as a new height of never-before-seen terror, but at its best, Talk To Me still packs a grisly, dread-inducing impact.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 1, 2023 Full Review Run Rabbit Run (2023) 38% EDIT “Just one of Shiv’s frosty, cunning glances is more scary and original than anything Run Rabbit Run has to offer.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 29, 2023 Full Review The Boogeyman (2023) 60% EDIT “The whole project feels precisely like some forgettable fright flick from 2006 you’d scroll past on any streaming service. Even the ironic rock song played over the credits feels out of place, unearned.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 1, 2023 Full Review 80 for Brady (2023) 59% EDIT “Unfortunately for me, there is no reference to Lady Gaga’s halftime show - but there is a way too long, very 2008-era gag about the ladies accidentally taking edibles and hallucinating visions of Guy Fieri.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) May 3, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise (2023) 85% EDIT “This is not a referential, self-conscious sequel, with barely a pandering “groovy” or too much OTT chainsaw badassery in sight: just a gnarly extrapolation of what makes the series so nasty.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Apr 18, 2023 Full Review Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) 48% EDIT “Despite a genuinely stunning third act ballet number performed by Tatum in a pool of artificial rain, this wet dream of a franchise gets a dried-up anticlimax.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Feb 9, 2023 Full Review Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021) 98% EDIT “By focusing its gentle humour and storytelling pathos on that deceptively simple message - that just being “good” is enough in a huge and often meaningless existence - the Marcel movie stands far taller than its weeny protagonist.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jan 3, 2023 Full Review Triangle of Sadness (2022) 72% EDIT “In a manner a bit too similar to its ignorant bourgeois characters, Triangle of Sadness is content to sit back and gawk at surface-level misery without incisively looking deeper. ” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Dec 20, 2022 Full Review Barbarian (2022) 92% EDIT “ With its distinctly structured, surprising story and meaty mystery, Barbarian totally satisfies.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Rosaline (2022) 76% EDIT “The anachronistic feminism of Rosaline doesn’t just ring false - it can barely be heard at this point, over the riot grrl din of past remixed Shakespeare heroines in 10 Things I Hate About You and She’s The Man.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon (2021) 74% EDIT “Relies on some tropes and character dynamics you’ve certainly seen before - resulting in something less original than Amirpour’s other works.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 19, 2022 Full Review
