Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 12 Sep 2016

Review of The Carer (2016)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 12 Sep 2016

A dyspeptic comedy that quickly gives in to sentimentality ... any dramatic tension dissolves into tepid manipulation…

Review of Captain Fantastic (2016)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 12 Sep 2016

Review of The Secret Life of Pets (2016)

It features a brisk four-legged adventure, some knowing jokes pitched at the adults in the audience, and the surreptitious belief that cats…

Review of The Queen of Ireland (2015)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 12 Sep 2016

The filmmaking is workmanlike, but many of the ideas explored are sharp: drag queens like Panti, one observer notes, take the fear of effeminacy…

Review of My Scientology Movie (2016)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 12 Sep 2016

Theroux gets the blowback he hopes for with overt surveillance and bizarre confrontations that are as comically illogical as they are creepily…

Review of War Dogs (2016)

Review of Sunset Song (2015)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 30 Aug 2016

The structure can be episodic at times but the strength of Sunset Song is in its cumulative power…

Review of David Brent: Life on the Road (2016)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 30 Aug 2016

The sight of David Brent shilling for forgiveness and empathy, and blatantly receiving it, is the kind of development the once incorrigible…

Review of High-Rise (2015)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 30 Aug 2016

Wheatley's camera repeatedly dollies in towards Laing, as if pursuing something it can't catch, and that forlorn quest is an elevator ride…

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 30 Aug 2016

The brief scenes with a handsome woodworker, aka Jesus Christ (Rodrigo Santoro), are staggeringly banal, reductive in both religious and cinematic…

Review of Tickled (2016)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 30 Aug 2016

The story's spine is so magnetic that you're held tight until the quiet but conclusive finale…

Review of The Shallows (2016)
