Good Fortune (2025) 78% 2.5/5 EDIT “ It veers awfully close to being irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. But the likeability of Reeves and Rogen, with Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer, mostly powers it through a couple of tone-deaf patches.” – The Post NZ Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Pike River (2025) 4.5/5 EDIT “Pike River is a damn near-perfect film. It succeeds thunderously well at bringing to life the story it sets out to tell. And it treats the people and the communities of the coast with palpable aroha and respect.” – The Post NZ Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “This is a sprawling, nakedly operatic, slightly camp and completely singular film. ” – The Post NZ Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's an ambitious film, that tries to do and say a lot. But the performances hold it together, and the music gets its due. Which matters.” – The Post NZ Jan 2, 2026 Full Review A Little Something Extra (2024) 4/5 EDIT “A Little Something Extra is predictable, saccharine, manipulative and contrived. But it is also a genuinely funny and occasionally quite moving wee film, with its heart in the right place.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Roofman is a good natured romp of a film. The performers are mostly superb, the writing is engaging and funny, and everything looks and sounds great.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Went Up the Hill (2024) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “It's a very fine line between a film being artful and enigmatic, and an impenetrable load of unintentionally hilarious wallop.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 4/5 EDIT “There's a palpable heart and soul here, under the layers of effects and wizardry.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 1.5/5 EDIT “Him is a procession of over art-directed sequences in search of a story.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 4/5 EDIT “Put away all your preconceptions about "fight movies" and go and have a look. You might be as impressed as I was.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “One Battle After Another is a big, brawling, literate, hellishly funny, occasionally confusing and deeply lovable film.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Prime Minister (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “I reckon you’ll be impressed at how deftly the film has been assembled, and at the astonishing access that we are granted. And maybe, you’ll also be shaken by the reminder of what a kinder, more collegial place this once was, not so long ago.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The animation rips across the screen in a riot of colour and movement, and switches styles in a way that is happily dizzying, but also speaks of a deep love and understanding of the medium from director Pierre Perifel and his crew.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 36% 3.5/5 EDIT “With a couple of lesser actors, playing this material only for sighs and laughs, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey could have become an annoying mess, very quickly.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “One of the strongest thrillers of the year, and one of the best Stephen King adaptations for decades.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% 3/5 EDIT “The audience I sat with were chuckling along for most of the film's two hours, and they mostly seemed to agree that, although it hadn't set the world on fire, it was a decent enough extended final episode to go out on.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Splitsville (2025) 84% 2.5/5 EDIT “Splitsville is roughly half the film it could have been. And, incidentally, not nearly as good as the film the trailer is promising.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “A blackly funny and wise gem of a film.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% 3.5/5 EDIT “As long as you can ignore what the film isn't doing, and just enjoy the mostly new story it is laying out, I reckon you'll be happy enough you took the time to see it.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Toxic Avenger (2023) 87% 4/5 EDIT “This new The Toxic Avenger works because Blair and everyone involved have taken the assignment seriously and set out to make the film as good as it can possibly be, while not forgetting the original is a legendary piece of demented midnight cultdom.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Ballad of Wallis Island is a genuinely laugh-out-loud and crowd-pleasing yarn that will win over pretty much anyone.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Naked Gun (2025) tries hard and it often earns a laugh. But the original was comedy lightning in a bottle which no remake is ever going to match.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% 1.5/5 EDIT “Odenkirk's deadpan schtick really isn't enough to sustain an entire movie, and the self-aware wit that made the first film work is absent here. Without that, what's left is just a bit of mess.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Mr. Burton (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “What sets the film apart are the three performances at its heart.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “I reckon Weapons will be a midnight favourite in a couple of years. Whether you think you like horror movies or not, go and have a look.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review
