2.5/5
Primate (2025) Nadine Whitney The filmmakers haven’t gone in for cohesive and logical narrative, they’ve gone for rabid chimp savagery and viscous visceral viciousness.

Beast of War (2025) Nadine Whitney Roache-Turner delivers a great film about mateship under pressure making the film a very satisfying WWII experience, and it is an outstanding shark thriller and probably one of the best-looking shark movies I can recall.

5/5
Lesbian Space Princess (2025) Nadine Whitney Lesbian Space Princess is at heart a story about believing in yourself and recognising that sometimes it’s not you, you’re just surrounded by jerks. An absolute space blast.

Penny Lane Is Dead (2025) Nadine Whitney Penny Lane is Dead is replete with fantastic performances, a banging soundtrack, and a deep understanding of genre, time, and place. It’s a bloody ripper!
Posted Jan 07, 2026  Edit critic review
Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) Nadine Whitney A wonderful paean to 1960’s eurospy thrillers and exploitation films where desire, delusion, and delirium overtake the psych… replete with stylised visceral violence, unforgettably stunning imagery, and a sense of the phantasms of a fantasy world.
Posted Dec 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Trains (2024) Nadine Whitney Trains is a haunting human experience in coal, steam, iron, and the man-made lay lines which connect and destroy.

2/5
Anemone (2025) Nadine Whitney Ronan Day-Lewis has a flair for visual engagement that doesn’t quite cover his currently lacking narrative and tonal skill. Anemone might be a too large an undertaking for a first-time filmmaker.

Journey Home, David Gulpilil (2025) Nadine Whitney Maggie Miles and Trisha Morton-Smith document a sacred rite and explain David Gulpilil’s traditional customs creating David’s final gift to cinema and as a storyteller of Aboriginal Australian culture. Extraordinary.

Good Boy (2025) Nadine Whitney Good Boy is a brilliant horror film which opens itself up to a multiplicity of readings on a metaphorical level and provides an elemental and emphatic experience of empathy with its canine protagonist.

La llorona (2019) Nadine Whitney La Llorona is a subtle and persuasive masterpiece – a clever piece of horror that asks the audience to witness real life atrocities and recoil from them far more than they recoil from the supernatural.
Posted Sep 27, 2025  Edit critic review
Rabbit Hole (2010) Nadine Whitney Rabbit Hole a universally themed work about how people must learn to process their grief, guilt, and anger to reach a point where they know what they will do with the next day of their lives.
Posted Sep 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Westgate (2025) Nadine Whitney Adrian Ortega’s film is a paean to the fierce and imperfect humans who fight to raise their children. Westgate is a gift.
Posted Sep 13, 2025  Edit critic review
We Bury the Dead (2024) Cody Allen This isn’t a zombie movie. It’s a love letter written too late. A lullaby for the unloved dead.
Posted Sep 04, 2025  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Honey Don't! (2025) Nadine Whitney Honey Don’t! is a movie that scuppers itself in a bewildering number of ways. How can one of the defining luminaries of the caper genre steer a project straight into a wall of bad choices?

3.5/5
Romería (2025) Nadine Whitney Romería is exquisitely shot and incredibly well acted by Llucía Garcia. A brave and subtle film about the inheritance of shame… at times indulgent but forgivably so considering how close Simón is to the subject.

4/5
Iron Winter (2025) Nadine Whitney Iron Winter is an immersive, touching, harrowing, and educational documentary about a way of life under threat by extreme climate change. It is a wholly embracing piece inviting us to see a world we’ve never seen before.
Posted Aug 20, 2025  Edit critic review
Fwends (2025) Cody Allen Ultimately, Fwends is a quiet, heartfelt meditation on friendship’s fragile beauty.
Posted Aug 19, 2025  Edit critic review
Scrap (2022) Cody Allen By the end, Scrap lingers with you not because of melodrama or spectacle but because of its humanity.
Posted Aug 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Redux Redux (2025) Nadine Whitney Redux Redux is a rare film that balances all its spinning plates; science fiction, serial killer, intense violence and heart pounding suspense with an emotionally brave and raw story of the loss of self inside grief.
Posted Aug 15, 2025  Edit critic review
GEN_ (2025) Cody Allen GEN_ is not just a film—it’s a call. A mirror. A gentle, devastating insistence that every person deserves the freedom to become.
Posted Aug 13, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
One More Shot (2025) Nadine Whitney One More Shot is nostalgic and wonderfully relevant. A great Australian indie treat. A fine adult drama that balances the increasingly big time travel zaniness.
Posted Aug 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Cloud (2024) Cody Allen Cloud is an unnerving, genre-blurring ride that blends satire, suspense, and just enough chaos to keep you guessing.

5/5
OBEX (2025) Nadine Whitney It is nigh on impossible not to love a movie which is radically uncommercial made by a bunch of clever oddballs in their (actual) backyards which houses such a depth of emotion and relatable depictions of loneliness and isolation. OBEX is superb.

The Naked Gun (2025) Cody Allen Honestly? I had such a good time. It’s messy in the best way, full of weird little choices that make it feel alive. Not polished. Not safe. Just fun.
Posted Aug 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Oh, Hi! (2025) Cody Allen Oh, Hi! is weird, wild, and unexpectedly heartfelt. It’s a rom-com for anyone who’s ever loved a little too hard, spiraled a little too far.
Posted Jul 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Together (2025) Andrew F. Peirce Together works as ‘babe’s first body horror’ experience, but not much more than that.
Posted Jul 31, 2025  Edit critic review
Star People (2025) Cody Allen Star People may not be the flashiest film this year, but it’s one of the most heartfelt.
Posted Jul 28, 2025  Edit critic review
Crumb Catcher (2023) Cody Allen Crumb Catcher is a strange little gem of a film—equal parts home invasion thriller, satire, and offbeat dark comedy. It’s the kind of movie that makes you wonder if you should be laughing, panicking, or both.
Posted Jul 28, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Nadine Whitney The Fantastic Four: First Steps is pleasing PG-13 superhero fare and although not boasting a stand-out story, it is certainly a step in the right direction for the historically cinematically cursed F4.

5/5
Sorry, Baby (2025) Cody Allen With Sorry, Baby, Eva Victor has crafted a monumental debut—subtle, shattering, and deeply human.
Posted Jul 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Queendom (2023) Cody Allen Queendom is a critical reminder of the power of protest and the importance of safe spaces for self-expression.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review

Apartment 7A (2024) Cody Allen In revisiting the eerie halls of the Bramford, Apartment 7A does more than expand a beloved story—it offers a reflection on the complexities of the female experience.

Sleep (2024) Cody Allen The tension is palpable, the fear visceral, and yet Sleep is a quiet horror, one that prefers psychological depth over cheap thrills.

5/5
Black Box Diaries (2024) Cody Allen Watching Black Box Diaries was emotionally exhausting. I cried, I got angry, I felt every injustice she faced as if it was my own. But by the end, I felt a strange sense of hope.

Borderline (2025) Cody Allen At its core, Borderline is an experience. It’s a wild, unpredictable, and sometimes messy ride that delivers laughs, thrills, and plenty of WTF moments.

Freaky Tales (2024) Cody Allen Freaky Tales has all the makings of becoming a cult classic.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Gazer (2024) Cody Allen Gazer is not interested in providing comfort; it seeks to provoke, to make us think, and to remind us of the raw, unfiltered nature of human experience
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
That They May Face the Rising Sun (2023) Cody Allen In the end, That They May Face the Rising Sun is a meditation on impermanence, a reflection on the quiet dignity of compromise and the inevitability of change.

Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
The New Boy (2023) Cody Allen In The New Boy, Thornton has crafted more than a story—he’s offered a gesture of grace. It’s a film that lingers like the scent of eucalyptus after rain, like the echo of a hymn long after the final note fades.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
Clown in a Cornfield (2025) Cody Allen Whether you’re in the mood for a deeper look at generational angst or just want to see a creepy clown stalk teenagers through a cornfield with a crossbow (yes, really), this movie delivers. And it delivers hard.
Posted Jul 14, 2025  Edit critic review
The Shrouds (2024) Cody Allen The Shrouds doesn’t just haunt you—it slows you down. It pulls you into a kind of meditative paralysis, where everything sharpens. Time dilates
Posted Jul 11, 2025  Edit critic review
The Surfer (2024) Cody Allen The Surfer feels like a missed opportunity. There’s a sense that the film could have been something deeper, something more meaningful, but it never fully dives into the story or the character’s psyche.
