A creepy-little-kid suspenser... boasts enough in the way of sharp acting, as well as visual and musical smarts, to give the psychological twists and turns a respectable aesthetic context...
Full reviewA psychological thriller in which the lives of a Manhattan couple (Vera Famiga and Sam Rockwell) are torn apart by the unsettling antics of their mysterious, maybe evil son, Joshua.
He's nine years old, polite, primly attired and a prodigy at the piano. But he stars to worry his parents when he throws out all his childhood toys, disembowels his favourite stuffed animal, develops an interest in mummification, and pretends to grieve when the family dog mysteriously dies (as do the hamsters in his classroom).

Full reviewPoised self-consciously between art and entertainment, Joshua offers imaginative staging and some superb performances...
Full reviewSo what's wrong with Joshua? Two things: The audience is ahead of the movie, and the movie never catches up...
Full reviewOne of the most diabolical things about this psychological thriller is just how open to interpretation it is...
Full reviewSeductive and creepy, perfect for a hot summer night when nobody has the energy to pose a lot of questions...
Full reviewJoshua is available to stream in New Zealand now on Google Play and Apple TV and Disney+.
