Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have got a rare gift for mixing up genres, and for making tough concepts easy to follow and fun. They have a major hit on their hands here.” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Midwinter Break (2026) 64% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is a simple, quiet film, but it is brilliantly performed and assembled. If you have the maturity to hear what it is saying, then I think you might like it very much indeed.” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “Pillion is a hell of a film. It is laugh-out-loud funny, often. But also moving and insightful about everything from male loneliness and dysfunction, to grieving and heartbreak.” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “Sirât is an hallucinatory and nihilistic trip. It is an allegory, I guess. But also a sketch of one corner of the world, and a few perfectly drawn characters who inhabit it. The cinematography - on 16mm film - is exceptional. ” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 4/5 EDIT “The Bride! is a hot blast of fun and a feat of storytelling that gets right up against the ragged edge of derailing in a mess. But Gyllenhaal and her cast keep it all moving forward and the film tumbles across the finish line more or less in one piece.” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Holy Days (2026) 60% 2.5/5 EDIT “The film strains for a laugh in nearly every scene, when a quieter approach, that didn't try so hard to be liked, might have yielded a more real resonance and pay-off. ” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Studded with songs and dance, it lays out a spiky, idiosyncratic story in a procession of bold and beautifully designed scenes. This is a film I don't think I'll ever forget I have seen. And I can't ask for more than that.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% 4/5 EDIT “The story is engrossing, the stakes seem real and that cast is an absolute dream.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “A pile of darkly confected fun.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Goat is a smart, funny and quite beautifully put together movie. It's got its heart in the right place, a fantastic soundtrack and something worthwhile to say. ” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “This is a literate, properly funny, achingly melancholy, joyously filthy and always deeply likeable film.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 58% 3.5/5 EDIT “Leave any expectations you might have at home, and just go and enjoy this "Wuthering Heights" for the bonkers good time that it is.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 2/5 EDIT “Although we've seen Jason Statham in variations of this film about 20 times over, he can play this role with a kind of zen-like simplicity now.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “When the film catches fire - in the scenes between Arnett and Dern, and also in a couple of beautifully calibrated moments between Arnett and Ciarán Hinds, as Alex's taciturn dad - it turns into something quite special.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Choral is a handful of good scenes, a couple of decent performances and a few great songs, in search of a coherent film. But mostly, not finding one.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% 5/5 EDIT “This is a wonderful film. The story unfurls in unexpected and raucously comical ways, even though the film is deeply moving and occasionally quite terrifying. ⁠ ⁠” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 5/5 EDIT “The Secret Agent is stuffed full of spellbinding performances and some exceptional plotting and writing, all shot and soundtracked like some lost classic that should be sitting on every cinephile's shelf next to The Conversation and Point Blank.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Marty Supreme is just a hell of a ride. It is breathlessly paced, sometimes frightening, blackly hilarious and probably destined to be remembered as an early classic of the 21st century.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Grow (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Grow is loads of fun. It gets across the screen at a good pace, the writing is sharp enough to blur most of the contrivances, and the cast are all top-shelf comedic talent.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Hamnet is a beautifully made and performed piece of work. Yes, it is contrived and manipulative, but it is still a film that needs to be watched and committed to.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “DaCosta and her crew, working from a script that packs in ideas and set pieces that Garland has maybe been dreaming of for years, have delivered a lean, cruel, blatantly satiric and darkly funny movie. ” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “Song Sung Blue is a well-made and affectionate film with its heart in the right place. It sticks closely enough to the genuine chronology to occasionally feel a bit lumpy and haphazard. Which I like.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 79% 1.5/5 EDIT “The script feels like a response to a ChatGPT prompt, the animation is mostly lifeless and the subtle, clever and affectionate in-jokes and gags that once made SpongeBob so indelibly special and beloved are missing in action.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 95% 5/5 EDIT “This is a superb film, warm, funny as hell when it needs to be, and heartbreaking when it has earned the right. But most of all, Sentimental Value is insightful and understanding about love, family and loss. ” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Marching Band (2024) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Courcol packs a lot of story into his 104 minutes, but My Brothers Band always feels like it is unfolding at exactly the right pace.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review
