Review of Fury (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 29 Oct 2014

It may be the most capably directed of Ayer's five feature films, and has a shuddering physicality, but it's also the most predictable…

Review of Force Majeure (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 16 Oct 2014

His [Ostlund] only failing is following an ending that shows Tomas' risky desperation to make amends with a coda that evens up the couple's…

Review of A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 14 Oct 2014

Review of The Judge (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 14 Oct 2014

Review of Margaret (2011)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for sbs.com.au (697) on 28 Sep 2014

It has failings, but they're not fundamental, and if anything they speak to just how much Lonergan tried to coerce into a single story…

Review of The Infinite Man (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 21 Sep 2014

Review of Tom at the Farm (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 21 Sep 2014

The psychological menace is combined with Dolan's sometimes florid aesthetic to fascinating effect, signalling that he's well aware of the…

Review of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 21 Sep 2014

Familiar actors come and bloodily go, generally failing to make sense of reductive roles…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 21 Sep 2014

The bond between siblings is made very real by Wiig and Hader, who make that old line about laughing until you cry genuinely believable…

Review of The Immigrant (2013)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 11 Sep 2014

What's difficult to encapsulate is the vivid emotion that underpins this story, or the depths suggested by the close-ups of the remarkable…

Review of Magic in the Moonlight (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 27 Aug 2014

Magic in the Moonlight, an uninspiring yet familiar tale of faith, reason and romance, may well be one of the poorest pictures Woody Allen…

Review of Bridesmaids (2011)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for sbs.com.au (697) on 23 Aug 2014

At 125 minutes, Bridesmaids is unusually long for what is supposedly a raunchy comedy, and that's because the story steadfastly builds characters…

Review of Inglourious Basterds (2009)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for sbs.com.au (697) on 22 Aug 2014

A failure so complete that it is infuriating as opposed to merely disappointing…

Review of The Expendables 3 (2014)

Review of These Final Hours (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 03 Aug 2014

Zak Hilditch's tense apocalyptic drama These Final Hours gives a familiar concept a telling new location: Perth…

Review of Lucy (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 03 Aug 2014

While the story is concisely and confidently told, there's something chilly about Lucy (and Johansson's) sudden goodbye to life as we know it…

Review of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

By Craig Mathieson (459) for The Sunday Age (488) on 13 Jul 2014
