BIFF: [CENSORED] (2018)
[CENSORED] is compiled from clips excised from films imported into Australia from the late ‘50s to the early ‘70s.
BIFF: Hotel by the River (2018)
Hotel by the River is a slight, but interesting experiment for Hong Sang-soo aficionados.
Brothers’ Nest (2018)
Brothers’ Nest takes the scepticism underneath Kenny and allows it to fester and overtake the film.
Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot (2018)
Gus Van Sant’s latest, a modest biopic of cartoonist John Callahan, casually avoids biopic and addiction story tropes.
First Man (2018)
It’s safe to say that a new Damien Chazelle feature is going to be one of my most anticipated films of the year. Unfortunately, First Man falls short of perfect.
Mary and the Witch’s Flower (2017)
Mary and the Witch’s Flower has a comforting familiarity, as though recalling the feeling of rewatching your favourite Ghibli film for the umpteenth time.
Night School (2018)
You could forgive Night School’s clichéd, uneven storytelling had it boasted even a couple good jokes …but no.
In the Fade (2017)
Despite In the Fade (effectively) manipulating an emotional response in its audience, it has nothing of substance behind its thin thrills.
Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story (2017)
Taken as a whole, Bombshell is a portrait of how great women like Hedy Lamarr are dragged down by male mediocrity.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018)
There’s much to recommend The Miseducation of Cameron Post, but on the whole it feels too dramatically inert.
