By Paul Byrnes (441) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 01 May 2014

Review of Like Father, Like Son (2013)

By Sandra Hall (505) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 01 May 2014

There are times when the script seems just too schematic - as if Kore-eda has decided that we should all sit still while he lays out the nature…

Review of A Castle in Italy (2013)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 01 May 2014

A Castle In Italy interweaves reality and fiction in a highly self-conscious manner that is calculated to keep us guessing…

Review of Sneezing Baby Panda: The Movie (2014)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 01 May 2014

Dreadful by any rational standard, Sneezing Baby Panda: The Movie retains a freakish novelty value for its first half hour…

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 15 Apr 2014

Review of Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 10 Apr 2014

Jim Jarmusch has a habit of trafficking in genre conventions without committing to them, which gives his work an appealingly tenuous quality,…

Review of Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

By Jake Wilson (570) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 08 Apr 2014

Review of Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

By Sandra Hall (505) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 08 Apr 2014

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Paul Byrnes (441) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 08 Apr 2014
