Review of Pawno (2015)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 20 Apr 2016

Not all the subplots arrive at satisfactory conclusions but, scene by scene, Pawno is an attractively modest, engaging work…

Review of Chemsex (2015)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 13 Apr 2016

It's probable some of the participants in Chemsex are enjoying themselves more than they admit here, but as in all documentaries of this ilk,…

Review of The Jungle Book (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 13 Apr 2016

The film itself is technically innovative while also being thoroughly, satisfyingly traditional…

Review of The Boss (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 13 Apr 2016

McCarthy and her director and co-writer Ben Falcone -- who previously collaborated with her on the underrated Tammy -- struggle to sustain…

Review of The Bodyguard (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 07 Apr 2016

This kind of premise has proved serviceable many times in the past, and there's no reason it shouldn't work here…

Review of Observance (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 06 Apr 2016

A clever, low-budget exercise from the young Australian-based director Joseph Sims-Dennett, Observance is a hybrid of two familiar brands of…

Review of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 29 Mar 2016

Predictable wackiness ensues, with Jones encouraging each cast member to go as broad and frantic as possible…

Review of A Bigger Splash (2015)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 29 Mar 2016

With a bit more restraint, A Bigger Splash could have had the elegant menace of a Patricia Highsmith novel…

Review of Miracles from Heaven (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 25 Mar 2016

By and large, the film is drippy kitsch, alternating between sub-Terrence Malick images of everyday miracles and forced, feeble attempts…

Review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 22 Mar 2016

Not only does the storytelling feel cluttered, but the premise turns both protagonists into passive victims who only occasionally get to do…

Review of The Witch (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 16 Mar 2016

As a curio, The Witch has its own fascination; at least until the over-explicit finale shatters much of the mood that has been so carefully built up…

Review of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 10 Mar 2016

Above all 10 Cloverfield Lane is a showcase for Goodman, a consummate actor whose ability to terrify has rarely been exploited so thoroughly…

Review of Victoria (2015)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 10 Mar 2016

No doubt, this urgency adds something to the performances: with time, it becomes increasingly clear that Costa's look of physical and emotional…

Review of Triple 9 (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 04 Mar 2016

Hillcoat makes the final product seem almost apocalyptic: a social panorama with a functioning society nowhere in sight…

Review of Gods of Egypt (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 25 Feb 2016

This is the best opportunity Proyas has had in a long time to show off his visual intelligence, which amounts to more than a love of opulence…

Review of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 25 Feb 2016

Bay certainly has a style of his own, albeit one that again harks back to the 1980s -- an even more cartoonish variant on the music-video bombast…

Review of 45 Years (2015)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 19 Feb 2016

If the subject matter is familiar, Haigh approaches it in good faith - avoiding both sentimentality and cynicism, and seeking out fresh insight…

Review of Anomalisa (2015)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 10 Feb 2016

The film refuses to settle on one interpretation, instead opening up a space for larger philosophical questions…
