Faster
While it sticks to the formula of a revenge thriller, the characters are fully realised, surprisingly transforming this into a compelling human drama.

Sanctum
While let down by stock characterisations and clichéd scriptwriting, this is still an ambitious and entertaining ride.

The Next Three Days
While the performances are solid and there are a handful of truly suspenseful moments, this thriller fails to rise above the formula.

Tamara Drewe
While beautifully shot, this film never seems to work as its characters are unbelievable and it shifts uneasily between comedy and drama.

How Do You Know
The high talents of this comedic cast are completely wasted in a poorly scripted and predictable rom-com

Despite out of place comic relief from Jackie Chan, this deftly weaves history and politics, while boasting brilliant martial arts.

Another Year
Driven by natural performances, this perfectly reflects the ups and downs of everyday life with laughs and warmth.

Dhobi Ghat
Devoid of Bollywood melodrama, this beautifully crafted story is just as much a portrait of the city of Mumbai as it is of its characters.

Eva Braun: Hitler's Mistress
“...this film is like the unearthed home videos of a particularly serious and dull family.”

Humboldt County
“...a piece of kitchen sink realism familiar to Australians, but cut through with a ribald touch of Americana.”

The Green Hornet
Despite the talent involved, this ends up an underwhelming superhero flick marred by dull action and non-existent chemistry between the cast.
