Lucy and Desi (2022) 94% EDIT “It’s surprisingly emotional, and a worthy testament to the strength it took for Ball and Arnaz to keep Americans laughing day after day.” – The Post NZ Mar 5, 2022 Full Review Dream Horse (2020) 88% EDIT “A feel-good Sunday watch, bolstered by the excellent and ever-underrated Collette.” – The Post NZ Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Zombieland (2009) 89% EDIT “For all its silliness, this is not, pardon the pun, brainless; rather, it’s a ruthlessly funny explosion of zombie-film cliches that somehow doubles as a charming road movie.” – The Post NZ Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Whiplash (2014) 94% EDIT “The film is stifling, stressful and brilliant, delving deep into the psychological richness of what happens when an ambitious young person in a prestigious environment meets a volatile instructor...” – The Post NZ Feb 12, 2022 Full Review I Want You Back (2022) 87% EDIT “I Want You Back is one of those films that looks like its feet are set firmly and unapologetically within the genre, and it looks pretty enjoyable as a result.” – The Post NZ Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Spirit Untamed (2021) 48% EDIT “If nothing else, it's an entertaining ride for the whole family, and could be used as a way to guide the young ones back to the original.” – The Post NZ Dec 29, 2021 Full Review French Exit (2020) 65% EDIT “Written with grace and wit by Patrick deWitt, who adapted the screenplay from his own novel, this is one of those charming films that won't change your life, but it will feel like a warm mug of tea on a cold Sunday evening.” – The Post NZ Dec 29, 2021 Full Review Being the Ricardos (2021) 68% EDIT “While the films stays close to being a beat-by-beat, Wikipedia-page style retelling of the real-life story, the commitment of Kidman and Bardem more than makes up for it.” – The Post NZ Dec 29, 2021 Full Review Burning (2021) 94% EDIT “Director Eva Orner cleverly addresses a number of counter-arguments often offered by climate-change skeptics... with clear and harrowing information about the ways in which the fires are only getting worse.” – The Post NZ Nov 30, 2021 Full Review A Man Named Scott (2021) 75% EDIT “Take it with a grain of salt, but fans will discover plenty of surprises here about Mescudi's upbringing, his rise to fame and his unique way of producing and recording.” – The Post NZ Nov 30, 2021 Full Review Nobody (2021) 83% EDIT “Odenkirk is unsurprisingly brilliant, and the film is a hell of a lot of fun.” – The Post NZ Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Eat Pray Love (2010) 34% EDIT “Not a good film by any means, but sometimes you need a bad film of exactly this ilk: frothy, silly and as pleasurable as wrapping yourself in a warm blanket.” – The Post NZ Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Don't Breathe (2016) 88% EDIT “At under an hour-and-a-half, it's a brilliantly trim and genuinely riveting horror/thriller.” – The Post NZ Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Land (2021) 69% EDIT “The film is nothing to write home about... but the locations are magnificent, and Wright gives it her all, delivering a fine performance alongside her helming duties.” – The Post NZ Nov 5, 2021 Full Review I Am Legend (2007) 68% EDIT “Will Smith is outstanding in this gripping apocalyptic tale.” – The Post NZ Oct 29, 2021 Full Review The Green Knight (2021) 89% EDIT “The Green Knight is an elegant slow-burn, but it rewards the attentive viewer in spades.” – The Post NZ Oct 29, 2021 Full Review The Mad Women's Ball (2021) 86% EDIT “The story is told with a feminist punch, and Laurent's own performance is a masterwork.” – The Post NZ Oct 12, 2021 Full Review American Hustle (2013) 92% EDIT “Depending on who you speak to, this film is either ruthlessly entertaining, or heinously stupid, and given David O'Russell's reputation, I'm personally inclined to say the latter.” – The Post NZ Oct 1, 2021 Full Review Maggie's Plan (2015) 86% EDIT “It's as silly as it sounds, but Gerwig carries the film in her wide eyes, and it also features a fearsome Julianne Moore sporting a Russian accent, and what more do we want from cinema at the end of the day?” – The Post NZ Oct 1, 2021 Full Review Promising Young Woman (2020) 90% EDIT “It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea, and is perhaps not as original as it thinks it is. However, as a thriller exploring what happens when one decides to take justice into their own hands, it's strikingly unforgettable.” – The Post NZ Oct 1, 2021 Full Review All the Money in the World (2017) 79% EDIT “The film is compelling and informative.” – The Post NZ Oct 1, 2021 Full Review My Name Is Pauli Murray (2021) 94% EDIT “Told largely through Murray's own words, My Name is Pauli Murray is a breathtaking work of historical journalism, aiming to bring Murray's influence back into the public eye.” – The Post NZ Oct 1, 2021 Full Review Firedrake the Silver Dragon (2020) 80% EDIT “German author Cornelia Funke's 1997 children's novel gets a 3D animation adaptation, which may at first look like it's part of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise... but is a sweet and captivating children's film in its own right.” – The Post NZ Sep 24, 2021 Full Review The Dry (2021) 90% EDIT “Not exactly cheerful viewing, but gripping and unforgettable all the same.” – The Post NZ Sep 24, 2021 Full Review Allied (2016) 60% EDIT “This is far from brilliant - though it is extremely watchable.” – The Post NZ Sep 24, 2021 Full Review
