Review of 99 Homes (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 24 Nov 2015

It is smartly, if predictably told, with a flair for capturing moments of heightened emotions regularly involving people we meet only once or twice…

Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 20 Nov 2015

The movie plays out in the manner of a video game, long (and often drab) chunks of character development like protracted cut scenes between…

Review of Spectre (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 14 Nov 2015

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 21 Oct 2015

Review of The Intern (2010)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 21 Oct 2015

Compared to the dreck now synonymous with DeNiro's name this so-so comedy, a pleasant but forgettable fish out of water story, is actually…

Review of The Dressmaker (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for Guardian (4,584) on 15 Oct 2015

A loud, batty, fancy-frocked, sashed-and-stockinged revenge story pitched somewhere between an outback period piece and a Wile E Coyote cartoon…

Review of Cut Snake (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Guardian (2,969) on 14 Oct 2015

Review of Black Mass (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 07 Oct 2015

Depp is undeniably striking as the film's human centrepiece but his performance feels gimmicky; it's impossible to get past the freak factor…

Review of Sherpa (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Guardian (2,969) on 01 Oct 2015

Peedom and her team responded to disaster with a steady hand, in more than one sense, and fulfilled a rare opportunity to make a responsive…

Review of Everest (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 28 Sep 2015

Review of Blinky Bill the Movie (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for Guardian (4,584) on 15 Sep 2015

Blinky’s cranked-to-11 embrace of Australianisms feels a little tacky, like looking inside one of those city shops that flog kangaroo keyrings…

Review of Downriver (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for Guardian (4,584) on 30 Aug 2015

The film’s technical achievements can’t compensate for a deeply unsatisfying screenplay…

Review of StalkHer (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for Guardian (4,584) on 26 Aug 2015

Review of Iris (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 19 Aug 2015

Review of Mr. Holmes (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 19 Aug 2015

The film is an affecting meditation on the pangs of ageing and, via some surprise pathos-infused revelations, the emotional toll associated…

Review of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)

By Luke Buckmaster (275) for The Daily Review/Crikey (197) on 19 Aug 2015
