Arrival (2016) 94% 17/20 EDIT “...a more thoughtful, more intelligent science fiction film than the mainstream usually offers.” – FILMINK (Australia) Nov 9, 2016 Full Review Inferno (2016) 23% 14/20 EDIT “...a solid piece of entertainment whose deficiencies came attached at the source.” – FILMINK (Australia) Oct 12, 2016 Full Review Deepwater Horizon (2016) 82% 9/20 EDIT “The most positive general attribute about Deepwater Horizon is the authenticity of its action.” – FILMINK (Australia) Oct 4, 2016 Full Review Blood Father (2016) 89% 10/20 EDIT “...a predictable, empty film...” – FILMINK (Australia) Aug 30, 2016 Full Review Nobody Wants the Night (2015) 8% 9/20 EDIT “Endless Night is a terribly inconsistent film.” – FILMINK (Australia) Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Miles Ahead (2016) 74% 12/20 EDIT “...can't make up its mind whether it wants to be Ray, Superfly, or Give My Regards To Broad Street.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jun 14, 2016 Full Review Remember (2015) 68% 19/20 EDIT “...a marvellous film...” – FILMINK (Australia) May 15, 2016 Full Review Our Last Tango (2015) 90% EDIT “What makes the film so effective is a sense of poignancy that far exceeds its subject matter, making it less a film about dance than a character study about artistic and personal temperaments with a very broad resonance.” – FILMINK (Australia) Apr 1, 2016 Full Review Miracles From Heaven (2016) 45% EDIT “While it may not be for everyone, its basic decency and sense of great hopefulness are very often touching.” – FILMINK (Australia) Mar 24, 2016 Full Review A Bigger Splash (2015) 89% EDIT “Like the band that it adulates, its best asset is the vulnerability with which it underscores its own sleaze.” – FILMINK (Australia) Mar 24, 2016 Full Review The Will to Fly (2016) EDIT “While for sports aficionados this is a no-brainer, the apathetic may be pleasantly surprised too.” – FILMINK (Australia) Mar 14, 2016 Full Review The Lady in the Van (2015) 89% EDIT “Its droll sense of sentiment makes up significantly for its so-slight smugness. A minor gem.” – FILMINK (Australia) Mar 4, 2016 Full Review The Boy and the Beast (2015) 90% EDIT “...never quite as transcendent as it might be...” – FILMINK (Australia) Feb 28, 2016 Full Review 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) 51% EDIT “The fact that Bay's only interest is in the sensory aspect of conflict wholly undermines the serious nature of the subject matter.” – FILMINK (Australia) Feb 23, 2016 Full Review The Choice (2016) 11% EDIT “People who enjoyed films like Dear John or The Notebook should find little to dislike here; while people who loathed those movies are best to steer clear.” – FILMINK (Australia) Feb 10, 2016 Full Review Dirty Grandpa (2016) 10% EDIT “The film hinges on the solipsistic idea that libido in the elderly is somehow outrageous and hence, dirty.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jan 24, 2016 Full Review The Good Dinosaur (2015) 76% EDIT “An awesome technical feat, The Good Dinosaur is a very good Pixar film, but not quite a great one, even if it is highly likeable all the same.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jan 1, 2016 Full Review Goosebumps (2015) 78% EDIT “While kids will still have fun with this, it sadly lacks the imaginative capacity which should have been its strong point and would have made it a more endearing tribute to its source material.” – FILMINK (Australia) Jan 1, 2016 Full Review Phoenix (2014) 98% EDIT “It trips itself up by being squarely neorealist on one hand, and imposing Hitchcockian artifice on the other, so that it fails to work as either because its narrative artifice and its sombre realism are incompatible.” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 4, 2015 Full Review Truth (2015) 64% EDIT “Truth is an entertaining and thought provoking picture, even if it would have benefited from being more expansive.” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 4, 2015 Full Review By the Sea (2015) 35% EDIT “By the Sea is a fascinating mess.” – FILMINK (Australia) Nov 24, 2015 Full Review True Story (2015) 45% EDIT “True Story is a taut, psychological thriller which benefits both from the effectiveness of its two leads as well a sense of brevity that wisely recognises the value of pacing, silence, and space.” – FILMINK (Australia) Nov 5, 2015 Full Review 5 to 7 (2014) 70% EDIT “This is an above average romantic weeper despite its classist flaws and its liberal scrounging from The French New Wave.” – FILMINK (Australia) Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Norway (2014) EDIT “It has no fundamental purpose with which to exceed the fixation it has on its own sense of weirdness.” – FILMINK (Australia) Oct 16, 2015 Full Review Wednesday 4:45 (2015) EDIT “While the transparent overfamiliarity of the subject matter means it will inevitably suffer by comparison with the films it apes, taken on its own terms, Wednesday 04:45 is worthwhile.” – FILMINK (Australia) Oct 16, 2015 Full Review
