Proclivitas (2025) 1.5/5 EDIT “ Too bad the film isn’t as successful otherwise in combining disparate parts into a whole.” – Sydney Morning Herald Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 79% 3/5 EDIT “Romantic comedies seem harder than ever to get off the ground, at least on the big screen. Cold Storage, from British director Jonny Campbell, has an original solution: disguising itself as a splatter movie.” – Sydney Morning Herald Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Anemone (2025) 52% 2.5/5 EDIT “Not much happens in the present tense of Anemone, which often resembles a vastly over-extended student short...” – Sydney Morning Herald Mar 11, 2026 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% 2/5 EDIT “I found the use of raw reality within what amounts to a traditional suspense framework not so much offensive as jarringly misjudged, rendering the craft of Ben Hania and her team beside the point (this includes the actors, however talented they might be).” – The Age (Australia) Mar 10, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 2.5/5 EDIT “In principle, the Bride is a single individual, in contrast to Frank, who was assembled from bits and pieces of multiple corpses. But as a fictional creation, she never adds up to a cohesive whole, any more than does the movie bearing her name.” – The Age (Australia) Mar 10, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 2.5/5 EDIT “But as piously kitsch extravaganzas go, Ann Lee is no Sound of Music.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Indeed, on all levels Sirat is designed as a shock to the system, meant to affect the body as much as the mind.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “...the dull landscape paintings on the walls of Fackham Hall seem mostly to be just dull landscapes. During the lulls in the dialogue, I often found myself staring at them, wondering if there was something I’d missed. ” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 89% 3/5 EDIT “...Crime 101 is worth a look, if only for the stacked cast, which includes Nick Nolte and Jennifer Jason Leigh in small roles.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 64% 2.5/5 EDIT “Whistle remains a wilfully routine horror movie, self-aware to the point of caution.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 11, 2026 Full Review We Bury the Dead (2024) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Grief as a subject for horror cinema has become a cliche, but We Bury the Dead at its best is getting at something more specific...” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Scarlet (2025) 72% 3/5 EDIT “[The] latter section of the film again has some striking images, including a literal stairway to heaven where the steps are delicate strips of cloud. But as the plot gets more convoluted, the logic of the fantasy becomes harder to parse...” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 4, 2026 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “While Panahi doesn’t presume to say when forgiveness is preferable to justice, he takes the question seriously – and while the ending isn’t exactly reassuring, some degree of hope is implied in the way he allows his characters freedom to make the choice.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir (2026) 2/5 EDIT “At nearly two hours, Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir is an endurance test for all but the most dedicated. Still, I emerged not wholly disliking its subject, and willing to believe that being Paris Hilton hasn’t been a bed of roses in all respects...” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Madly (2025) 82% 2.5/5 EDIT “...the film is hit-and-miss: cinematographer Fabrizio Lucci knows how to light a set, but the editing is on the haphazard side, when the material demands an abstract neatness.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “...the movie is basically a picaresque dark comedy juiced up with violent slapstick and audacious stunt casting, with Chalamet stunting the hardest of all.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 21, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “As social satire, moreover, it may not say anything all that new. But it’s masterful on its own terms, and for all its relentless pessimism far from depressing. On the contrary, there’s something exhilarating about a filmmaker willing to go all the way.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 3/5 EDIT “...the messiness is partly what makes The Bone Temple worth seeing – and with at least one more chapter on the way, there’s happily no way of predicting where the story might lurch next.” – The Age (Australia) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “This isn’t Breathless, of course: in contrast to Godard’s freewheeling approach, to call Nouvelle Vague a museum piece wouldn’t be entirely unfair. But it’s an experimental film too, in its own way. ” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Grand Prix of Europe (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “Like the recent Pets on a Train, the film resembles a video game transferred to the big screen, stronger on design than anything else.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Resurrection (2025) 90% 3/5 EDIT “The emotion that comes through most strongly is Bi’s determination to dazzle us any way he can, as if fearful his own time in the spotlight might soon run out.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 2, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 4/5 EDIT “The most moving moments in this moving film occur when characters refuse to compromise their principles to smooth the path to a happy ending – indicating that Bennett...has his own clear sense of where to draw the line.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 2, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% 2.5/5 EDIT “...the refusal to take the thriller mechanics seriously gives the storytelling a laborious quality – and there’s a certain vestigial earnestness, as if we were meant to believe the script had something meaningful to say about class or gender relations...” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 80% 2/5 EDIT “...the bursts of invention are nowhere near frequent enough to mask the oldest formula in family entertainment, where the over-reaching hero learns that he’s better off just being himself.” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 70% 3.5/5 EDIT “Both in theme and structure, The History of Sound recalls Ang Lee’s once furiously debated Brokeback Mountain (now widely and justly viewed as a modern classic). But this isn’t quite the same kind of full-bodied love story. ” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 17, 2025 Full Review
