Deep Water (2022) 35% EDIT “Continually comical in a way that feels at first intentional if chaotic, then camp, then baffling, the film fumbles its potential scene after scene.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Mar 14, 2022 Full Review The Power of the Dog (2021) 94% EDIT “It's not difficult to see why this film is attracting awards speculation - it's elegant, sinister, and grand. It's the work of a master.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Coming Home in the Dark (2021) 92% EDIT “Violent outbursts punctuate the film in often unexpected, shocking moments, yet it is the slowly dawning realisation of the rationale behind that violence that keeps the tension tight, even if the pacing occasionally slacks.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Nomadland (2020) 93% EDIT “Zhao's craft here is unparalleled, and Joshua James Richards' cinematography utterly astonishing.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Mar 7, 2021 Full Review Ammonite (2020) 70% EDIT “In comparison to other recent sapphic period dramas such as Portrait of a Lady on Fire and The Favourite, there is a distinct lack of spark between Ammonite's leads.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Feb 10, 2021 Full Review Pieces of a Woman (2020) 76% EDIT “The film is at its best in its quiet spaces, all too often drowned out by melodramatic monologues and heavy-handed score.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jan 12, 2021 Full Review EMMA. (2020) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Emma is a fine, fun adaptation of the Jane Austen novel, with an exceptional lead performance and decadent styling making up for some of the film's messier elements.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Marriage Story (2019) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Where it feels a little egotistical at times, it's also extremely self-reflective, giving a compassionate look at the tangled intricacies that accrue over a marriage.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Dec 3, 2019 Full Review Hustlers (2019) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Recognises that under capitalism, working-class single mothers will always be the ultimate hustlers. But it's also so much fun!” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 8, 2019 Full Review Joker (2019) 68% 2/5 EDIT “If you want to watch a rejected loner with a history of trauma and a conflicted relationship with their mother make the world burn for how they were treated, try Carrie.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Support the Girls (2018) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Its portrayal of working class struggle is resonant without being didactic, and its hopeful to watch these characters find ways to survive, and sometimes even thrive, in this tough old world.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 1, 2019 Full Review Little Woods (2018) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Visually striking. Comparisons to Debra Granik's Winter's Bone and Leave No Trace are fitting...” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jun 19, 2019 Full Review Five Feet Apart (2019) 52% 2/5 EDIT “Five Feet Apart is a film for the tumblr generation. It's just a shame it's seven or eight years late.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Mar 24, 2019 Full Review Everybody Knows (2018) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Excellent leads and Farhadi's baseline quality make Everybody Knows a solid watch.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Feb 26, 2019 Full Review What Men Want (2019) 41% 2/5 EDIT “What Men Want feels stuck in the 2000s due to dull direction and rote plot devices.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Colette (2018) 87% 4/5 EDIT “No one does seething quite like Keira Knightley, and she deploys some of her best emotional work in this film.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Feb 14, 2019 Full Review The Hate U Give (2018) 97% 4/5 EDIT “A starkly effective film for teenagers concerned with the effort towards a better world.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Ben Is Back (2018) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Ben's mother Holly, played by Julia Roberts, is the best part of the film, a skillful performance of strength and cautious care.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Jan 31, 2019 Full Review Second Act (2018) 44% 3/5 EDIT “Second Act is nothing new or outstanding, but it's a nice watch, and worth it to see Jennifer Lopez on screen again.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Beautiful Boy (2018) 68% 2/5 EDIT “Beautiful Boy is an ambitious film, one that hopes to make known the exhausting heartbreak of addiction. Unfortunately, it ends up simply exhausting.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Nov 28, 2018 Full Review Cam (2018) 93% 4/5 EDIT “The plot of Netflix techno-thriller Cam doesn't entirely satisfy, but the compelling concept, excellent lead performance, and brilliant details win out.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Nov 20, 2018 Full Review Fifty Shades Freed (2018) 11% 2/5 EDIT “Ends abruptly and without satisfaction.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Ocean's 8 (2018) 69% 3/5 EDIT “A fine, fun film. It's just that it should have been so much better.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Lady Bird (2017) 99% 5/5 EDIT “Exquisitely renders the complex, funny, turbulent love between mother and daughter, which is to say, the way desire can feel like betrayal.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 27, 2018 Full Review A Fantastic Woman (2017) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Watching Marina contemplate her reactions in a refusal to be deterred from closure is, in and of itself, utterly fantastic.” – Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Aug 27, 2018 Full Review
