Conclave Review
Conclave is shaping up to be one of the strongest movies of this year! We caught an early screening of it, so check out our review before it hits cinemas this January!

Don’t Look Up
Don’t Look Up isn’t funny enough to make a mark, and is too heavy-handed with its political satire to be truly enjoyable.

Sing 2
Sing 2 loses the thread with some of its existing characters, but replaces it with a tale of heart, mourning and moving on that is really beautiful.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife
A blast from the past given a twist of the modern, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a worthy, if imperfect, update to the franchise and a fun summer flick to indulge in.

Best Sellers
Best Sellers is an easy, enjoyable watch.

Spiderman: No Way Home
Gobsmacking in its ambition, and while it doesn’t always hit, when it does it packs a helluva punch.

Dear Evan Hansen
Dear Evan Hansen is perfectly adequate, but fails to excel.

The Power of the Dog
The Power Of The Dog is a powerful film.

The Card Counter
The Card Counter is about as fun as counting cards by yourself in the dark.

Encanto
Great entertainment for this holiday season, but unlikely to be remembered by next.

Dune
The greatest movie of the decade.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage
This character, and these performers, deserve better.

The Eternals
A gorgeous piece of filmmaking that focuses on the people in this piece, rather than the fighting and setpieces.

Blue Bayou
Blue Bayou defies the more gratuitous indulgences of its filmmaking team to capitalise on some great performances, and break your heart with a deeply affecting story.

Sparking: The Story of Champagne
Sparkling: The Story of Champagne is a baffling documentary that jumps all over the place. For those interested in champagne, this will be tolerable, but one imagines for a general audience this is best reserved for when it debuts on Sunday arvo television.

Passing
Passing is slow, and could be a tough to engage with streaming film, but those who make it through will reap the rewards of a stunningly beautiful, and well acted, drama.

Beyond The Infinite Two Minutes
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes is a fun film, but it’s also deceptive in how technically impressive it is. For any fan of science fiction it is a must see for the Japanese Film Festival.

Satoshi Kon The Illusionist
Thought-provoking and insightful, Satoshi Kon: The Illusionist is a must see for fans of the titular master and of animation generally, and has plenty for anyone else interested in modern cinema.

Last Night In Soho
Last Night In Soho is a joy; thrilling, exciting, beautiful and, ultimately, the sort of movie you’ll think on fondly for weeks after leaving the theatre.

Zola
Zola, while not really having anything to say other than portraying an amazing real life story, nevertheless is an engaging piece of cinema, that will keep you upbeat and have you recounting some of the more wild moments with your fellow moviegoers after the film.

Ron’s Gone Wrong
There’s a lot to love about Ron’s Gone Wrong, and you can’t go wrong taking your kids to the theatre to see it.
