Reviews

Noble but frustratingly uneven attempt to revitalise stale haunted house conventions.

It favours emotive performances over hyper-realism. *glares at Lion King*

“Expect to be impressed by how the action’s staged.”

“Almost like watching a South Auckland Karate Kid.”

“Here’s hoping it’s recognised as the local success story it is.”

One of the most uniquely deranged buddy movies to come out in quite some time.

It’s amazing that Carrey still manages to haul in a solid joke or three.

It’s fun, though it does quite match the brilliance of Clueless.

If it sounds a bit too weird for you, then you’re probably right.

Made over and reimagined, it’s the same Harley but newly fleshed out.

An amateur documentarian’s portrait of Syrian Civil War is a testament to the power of film.

Hints of whimsy don’t overwhelm, even as the film embraces the melodramatic.

It’s infectiously good fun to join him on numerous harebrained adventures.

A thoroughly entertaining and riveting behind-enemy-lines watch.

“Great story, great acting and lots to digest and discuss later.”

Technically 1917 is absolutely extraordinary, even if it’s a far from perfect film.

A flawed, potentially offensive, but stylish treat for fans of Ritchie’s early flicks.

And it’s just so damn wholesome, Liam Maguren writes.

“Neither a Vatican recruitment ad, nor an atheist takedown.”

A sweet tale of determination, tenderness and compassion.

Part coming-of-age tale. Part survival thriller. A completely good watch.
