Glass subverted my expectations repeatedly through her pairing of lesbians and gym bros, the supernatural creeping into the frame, and an unexpected experimental conclusion to the movie. Love Lies Bleeding is a bloody good thriller!

Imaginary is a confounding experience, with absolutely none of the first draft wrinkles of the script ironed out.

With its sweeping visual scope and grand approach to world building and action, Dune: Part Two is an absolutely monumental piece of sci-fi cinema. This is the kind of cinematic event that doesn't come around often, and I'd highly recommend checking it out in the biggest, loudest cinema possible.

I had quite a good time watching Madame Web. It's just the right blend of bad and confusing filmmaking, never quite finding a happy medium between corporate meddling and the naïve misguidedness of a first time director.

Beginning with Lillian (Talia Ryder) embarking on a class trip to Washington DC, before a Pizzagate-like violent outburst from a young man […] interrupts her night, sending her down an almost literal rabbithole.

Everyone always asks who is Argylle, but they never ask how is Argylle? Kind of disappointing, if I'm being honest.

Sean Durkin’s The Iron Claw superbly avoids the pratfalls of biopic cliché and transforms the story of the Von Erich clan into a harrowing denunciation of toxic patriarchal masculinity masquerading as familial dynasty.

The Holdovers provides us with an inarguable Christmas Movie – despite its quintessentially-too-late Australian release date – that feels ready to be an instant classic.

Liberating in all the right ways, Poor Things is a heartwarming oddball of a film, matching the gorgeous with the grotesque, showing that even in life's most dire circumstances there is still so much joy to be found.

High octane thrills, chills and an (un)healthy dosage of familial anguish – Michael Mann’s Ferrari is an exhilarating portrait of a man whose complexity is shaped by a past scarred by immense grief.

Anyone But You is a modern-day adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, with none of the charm of an adaptation like 10 Things I Hate About You (1999).

Migration is not trying to elevate the road trip comedy or be innovative for animation. Its goal is to entertain families and make kids smile. Movies need to do that more.

Insightful, fiendishly hysterical, and (albeit slightly overwhelmingly) emblematic, Dream Scenario is a surrealist delirium that moulds one of 2023’s most inventive premises into a deeply moving, melancholic parable on the perks and perils of sudden celebrity.

Campy, comical, and twisted, Bottoms is an all-American teenage wet dream dripping in homoerotic high school fantasies. You’ll definitely be talking about this fight club!

If you have no interest in historical accuracy and enjoy stunning cinematography, awkward romancing, spectacular war scenes, and hate the English, then Napoleon is the film for you. 

Despite being overstuffed, The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes still manages to fight for its place in The Hunger Games series as it is filled with great performances, effective world building and entertainment value. 

Leaving little room for seconds, Thanksgiving reminds us to be thankful for the simple pleasures that horror brings, and not unlike the dishes that might adorn a festive dinner table, there's plenty of corn to go around.

Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn is a frighteningly delicious and decadent dessert, one that you immediately regret eating, but cannot get off your mind no matter how hard you try.

In a world obsessed with John Wick, as well as its various imitators, it seems rare that we get a film that shakes up the revenge genre.

Move aside Taylor Swift. The re-release of Stop Making Sense reiterates that Talking Heads still holds the title for the best concert film ever made.
