Sinners (2025)

5/5
“Ryan Coogler's cohesive vision and ability to weave story transcends genre and the heart cannot be detached from art. History layers the supernatural elements, emotion carries through music and commentary is given life with the talented ensemble.” –

The Alto Knights (2025)
40%
3/5
“De Niro leads another enjoyable Italian American Gangster story with all the cloak and dagger intrigue we’ve come to anticipate. The Alto Knights had dialogue that felt like foreshadowing but mostly didn’t materialise so resulted in old man talking.” –

3/5
“A timely reflection on the reliance on technology and the insidious harm in replacing human relationships. A little egregious at times, an overall enjoyable watch.” –

Uppercut (2025)

2.5/5
“Uppercut's nerve centre operates from an aggrieved, entitled protagonist that is barely held to account and little room for growth, let alone pay off. ” –

Mickey 17 (2025)
77%
3/5
“Whether inspired by the book or current politics, Mickey 17 sadly proves we are past the point of cartoonish caricatures. The tone was diluted and commentary too heavy handed to be as distant as the sci-fi genre can offer.” –

The Last Journey (2024)
85%
3/5
“Accepting, or struggling to accept, the helplessness of witnessing parents get older proves to be difficult to separate from the intended elevated reality. Moments are understandable but also difficult to watch.” –

One of Them Days (2025)

4.5/5
“Both in front of and behind the lens, One of Them Days delivers laugh out loud comedy and builds a layered world of friendship squabbles, community coming together and delicious romance. A modern comedy classic!” –

BlacKkKlansman (2018)
96%
4.5/5
“Spike Lee will remain a leader in cinematic cultural commentary but that very potency was less present in BlacKkKlansman. While the messaging is still assured and deliberate, perhaps this film is set to the temperature of those in need of it.” –

4.5/5
“Bamboozled exists to serve as a reminder that the message will always be raw with Spike Lee and he is the King of Satire.” –

Malcolm X (1992)
89%
5/5
“Spike Lee's discerning vision & Denzel Washington's boundless performance results in a cinematic multifaceted reflection of a public figure and an open dialogue of the world, how it has been built, who benefits and those that are left with work to do.” –

Babygirl (2024)
76%
3/5
“Reversing power positions keeps the same dynamics we’ve seen before and softens the climax in its tepid reluctance. While there was a lot to hold onto, Babygirl doesn’t mature to a wholly realised liberated experience.” –

Companion (2025)
94%
3.5/5
“Companion attempts to go beyond the processing core of similar genre films by grounding the world and characters. The messaging of toxicity in relationships was touched on but would have made a bigger impact, if zoomed in on.” –

Wolf Man (2025)

3.5/5
“Wolf Man distills the essence of the original and bolsters lore with an emotional journey. The manifestations of masculinity felt, at times, competing with the overall theme of family.” –

Oshi No Ko -The Final Act- (2024)
3.5/5
“The Final Act does well to consolidate the series into a film, however it is so densely packed that the emotional journey isn’t fully realised.” –

Samson & Delilah (2009)
95%
5/5
“Samson & Delilah demands of us patience, attention and empathy - not just for the characters but also broadly into the world. The fearlessness in existing 'as is' as opposed to what 'should be' reflects an 'Australia' that feels possible and essential.” –

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024)
48%
3.5/5
“Interesting addition to a well beloved series with cool animation and focus on the Rohirrim. The story is enough to carry the intentions but layering the motivations of the perceived 'good' or 'bad' parties could have elevated the film further.” –
