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) 80% 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) 91% 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) 89% 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) 74% 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) 81% 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 Pets on a Train (2025) 2/5 EDIT “Indeed, a video game is what Pets on a Train mostly resembles – treating a whimsically arbitrary, blatantly derivative plot line as the basis for a series of logic puzzles, which the characters must band together to solve before time runs out.” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Kokuho (2025) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “... a sumptuous spectacle that is far less ponderous than the nearly three-hour running time might suggest.” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 3/5 EDIT “It’s a tricky game they play, these movies, setting out to be both legitimate whodunnits and parodies of the genre. Wake Up Dead Man is the most self-consciously old-school instalment yet, harking back to the tradition of the Gothic novel...” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Keeper (2025) 53% 3.5/5 EDIT “Horror fans may be reminded of the chilly snicker of Ari Aster (Midsommar), probably Perkins’ nearest artistic cousin. But where Aster often strains for weirdness, Perkins’ gift is that he seems incapable of anything else.” – Sydney Morning Herald Nov 14, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 3.5/5 EDIT “It isn’t an outright spoof like Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, but it’s still knowingly silly...” – Sydney Morning Herald Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 2.5/5 EDIT “A Predator who learns to care: it seems like a bit much. Still, Dek softens only to a point – and the moral message of the climax is as jumbled than everything else...” – Sydney Morning Herald Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Fwends (2025) 3/5 EDIT “For all the cutesy touches, Fwends is a sad film, hiding its sadness beneath a determined display of high spirits.” – The Age (Australia) Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% 2.5/5 EDIT “Good Fortune...is a mildly subversive fable about the yearning for big-time success – and also the kind of medium-budget comedy that...nowadays only exists because someone like Ansari has enough TV clout to bring it into being.” – Sydney Morning Herald Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Journey Home, David Gulpilil (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “The film is a bit all over the place, but perhaps that’s exactly how it should be – and however it’s judged as a documentary, as a document, it’s invaluable and moving.” – Sydney Morning Herald Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 2.5/5 EDIT “...amid the often clumsily explicit dialogue, the core of the story remains vague.” – Sydney Morning Herald Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 2/5 EDIT “Anyone who’s ever seen a film by Guillermo del Toro knows he loves monsters. Maybe he loves them a little too much, though his new version of Frankenstein doesn’t go to the lengths of his Oscar-winning The Shape of Water...” – Sydney Morning Herald Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Night of the Zoopocalypse (2024) 88% 2.5/5 EDIT “While Night of the Zoopocalypse is more of a labour of love than most of its rivals, it doesn’t have a great deal to offer adults who aren’t hardcore animation fans. ” – Sydney Morning Herald Oct 15, 2025 Full Review
