Tinā (2024) 100% “Tinā may not be reinventing the genre, but it is singing its own song. One that deserves to be heard.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% “As a farewell to Bridget and co the movie is a well-intentioned and, for its genre, an ambitious send-off. It seeks to inject real weight and poignancy into its genre while still delivering the classic rom-com escapism experience.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Alone (2020) 93% “A film as stripped down as this one really hinges on its actors, and they really struck gold.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Jim Jefferies: High n' Dry (2023) “In comparison to the bite of his early work, this special is every bit as gummy as the edibles he chomps down every morning. While there are laughs to be had, there’s not enough to make it worthwhile.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Ricky Gervais: Armageddon (2023) 43% “The only truly shocking thing about Armageddon is how unfunny it all is. The man who popularised cringe comedy with the original version of The Office is now unironically cringe-inducing.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review White Noise (2022) 64% 3/5 “Director Noah Baumbach gives it the old college try and for the most part succeeds. Some sections fall flat, understandable as it tackles so many 80s tropes, but when it sizzles it’s jam hot.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) 91% 3/5 “As fanciful notions play out against implausible situations, it's hard to shake the feeling that it's a little too clever for its own good. That said, Glass Onion is an easy, entertaining, if increasingly convoluted, watch.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Next Goal Wins (2023) 46% “While the film may stick rigidly to the genre playbook, that doesn’t mean Waititi isn’t having some fun with it. He’s playing by the rules, but has still found room to be creative.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Uproar (2023) 100% “James Rolleston and Driver are both as good as you’d expect as Josh’s brother and mum, respectively, and Mark Mitchinson brings the exact right level of conservative authority as the school’s principal.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review About My Father (2023) 37% “The movie works hard to get all the pieces in place for big comedy set-pieces and the excellent cast is all given moments to shine but it suffers from one unsurmountable problem; It’s simply not funny.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Old Dads (2023) 27% “It’s well-made, if nearly entirely predictable, and because Burr essentially just transplanted his stand-up set straight into Jack’s mouth, it’s often laugh-out-loud funny.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review The Out-Laws (2023) 22% “Despite its star cast, The Outlaws never feels bigger than a made-for-온라인카지노추천 movie. If you paid to see it on the big screen you’d certainly feel robbed, but it gets away with being a decent enough, watch-and-forget viewing on a rainy winter night.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review The Pez Outlaw (2022) 100% “Its tone is humourous and any darkness in Glew’s personal story is breezed over to keep the story rolling and the entertainment value high.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Red, White and Brass (2023) “It’s tough going at first and in moments you’ll want to quit. But persevere and the project’s māfana, enthusiasm, energy and spirit does indeed win you over.” – New Zealand Herald Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Rose Matafeo: On and On and On (2024) “On and On and On is as wonderfully sprawling and all over the show as the incredibly emo note that kickstarted the whole thing. However, unlike with her note, here Matafeo never loses the plot or her focus. ” – New Zealand Herald Jan 23, 2025 Full Review James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome (2024) “While it’s clever and funny and sees him once again pushing at the confines of traditional stand-up, Hecklers Welcome doesn’t quite match the genius or hilarity of his past efforts.” – New Zealand Herald Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Seth Meyers: Dad Man Walking (2024) 100% “Dad Man Walking is best described as the Casual Friday of comedy specials; it’s loose and comfortable but still operating professionally.” – New Zealand Herald Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Beatles '64 (2024) 95% “The Beatles ‘64 is a fascinating and unguarded record of life inside a historic and world-changing cultural event.” – New Zealand Herald Jan 7, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% “The story and drama of Gladiator II may be fairly dull, but its superb action, visual spectacle and outlandish historical inaccuracy are where the film truly shines.” – New Zealand Herald Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% “It is not good. But it is art. And for that, it should be celebrated. Even while being wholeheartedly not recommended.” – New Zealand Herald Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Wolfs (2024) 67% “It’s a fun, undemanding ride. But now and then it lurches awkwardly to a crawl as it moves outside of its easy-going comfort zone to try to match the depth of its cinematography.” – New Zealand Herald Sep 30, 2024 Full Review The Lie: The Murder of Grace Millane (2024) 71% “With its extensive use of CC온라인카지노추천 footage, The Lie meticulously and thoroughly presents its terrible truth.” – New Zealand Herald Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Jackpot! (2024) 31% “There’s loads of action in the movie, but it isn’t memorable, funny or adrenaline-spiking, even with all the screaming, explosions, and groins being kicked or punched” – New Zealand Herald Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Heavenly Creatures (1994) 95% “Heavenly Creatures is a haunting film that stays with you. It’s dark and disturbing and strangely beautiful. Like a lonely walk through a solitary park on a brisk Christchurch afternoon in June.” – New Zealand Herald Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) 67% “While the improv may be a little flabby compared to the razor sharp original, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is an entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable ride that can only be considered a successful return for both Murphy and the series.” – New Zealand Herald Jul 12, 2024 Full Review
