Review of A Most Violent Year (2014)

By Peter Galvin (80) for sbs.com.au (697) on 26 Feb 2015

Review of No Country for Old Men (2007)

By Michael Adams (18) for sbs.com.au (697) on 22 Feb 2015

Review of Last Days in the Desert (2016)

By Michelle Orange (458) for sbs.com.au (697) on 05 Feb 2015

Review of Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead (2014)

By Eddie Cockrell (117) for sbs.com.au (697) on 05 Feb 2015

Review of Mortdecai (2015)

By Eddie Cockrell (117) for sbs.com.au (697) on 05 Feb 2015

Review of Strangerland (2015)

By Michelle Orange (458) for sbs.com.au (697) on 03 Feb 2015

[The] film sits rather awkwardly, and frustratingly, between here and there, sure of what it doesn't want to do and say, but not quite settled…

Review of Slow West (2015)

By Michelle Orange (458) for sbs.com.au (697) on 03 Feb 2015

By Russell Edwards (40) for sbs.com.au (697) on 29 Jan 2015

Admittedly, the film has a thorough knowledge of its forebears and though it namechecks them at every opportunity, Kingsman brings very little…

Review of Foxcatcher (2014)

By Shane Danielsen (10) for sbs.com.au (697) on 29 Jan 2015

It's a film of deceptive power; its effect is gradual and incremental…

Review of Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014)

By Russell Edwards (40) for sbs.com.au (697) on 26 Jan 2015

There's little doubt that Kikuchi has put a lot of herself into the role of Kumiko, but the film doesn't probe very deep…

By Peter Galvin (80) for sbs.com.au (697) on 23 Jan 2015

We feel Kyle's detachment and disorientation (and Cooper is excellent) because Eastwood, working with his long-time collaborators, have punished…

Review of Paper Planes (2014)

By Fiona Williams (67) for sbs.com.au (697) on 16 Jan 2015

There's a lot to like in Paper Planes' ideas about ingenuity and resilience; that may bode well for getting bums off the beach and onto seats…
