Queensland Film Festival Program 2018
This year’s QLDFF program feels like the platonic ideal of an arty film festival program, one that at once inviting and challenging.
Faces Places (2017)
Faces Places bubbles with irrepressible charm.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)
When I first heard about a sequel to Sicario – one of my favourite films of 2015 – my first thought was ‘why does this need to exist?’ Having seen the film, I don’t have a satisfactory answer to that question.
And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online?
And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online? is an easy show to prejudge. Cover art focusing on an unrealistically busty young woman’s cleavage? Check. An MA15+ rating for “sexual references and nudity”? Check. An awkwardly-translated title? Check and check. Turns out I was wrong.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – the Park is Gone, and So is Any Modicum of Intelligence
Perhaps if Fallen Kingdom had nothing to do with Jurassic Park – if it were, say, titled Dinosaur Adventure – I could’ve enjoyed it. At least on the level that you enjoy an incredibly stupid film.
Tag (2018)
I wish there were more studio comedies like Tag.
The Incredibles 2 (2018)
Pixar have got their mojo back.
