The Pink House (2017)
The Pink House is a documentary about Questa Casta, Australia’s longest-running brothel located in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. Of course, it’s more than that.
Happy Death Day (2017)
Happy Death Day is a welcome example of refreshingly unpretentious B-movie filmmaking from Blumhouse.
Halloween (2007)
By any kind of objective measure, Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake falls far short of John Carpenter’s iconic film. I still … kinda … like it?
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)
Kingsman: The Golden Circle has as much unapologetic stupidity and unabashed absurdity as its predecessor … but, sadly, it’s an order of magnitude less fun.
Frisky (2015)
Frisky is proof positive that making something like Girls is a lot harder than it looks.
Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017)
While Captain Underpants is colourful, comedic and … competent, it’s just not my kinda scene.
Victoria and Abdul (2017)
Victoria and Abdul shoves what sounds like a truly extraordinary moment in history into a biopic-shaped box and sands away any sharp edges
Risk (2016)
While Risk is less focused than Citizenfour, Laura Poitras’ study of Snowden, this is actually the stronger film.
The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017)
Here’s the good news – if you’re looking for a dumb, fun, switch-your-brain-off action comedy, The Hitman’s Bodyguard succeeds … provided you can subscribe to that switch-your-brain-off advice.
BIFF 2017: Final Portrait
When it comes to directing, Stanley Tucci is one hell of an actor. At least, that’s the case if his latest feature – Final Portrait – is anything to go by.
