Reviews

… not only a story about vengeance and recognition, but a piercing reflection on collective trauma and moral paralysis in a society broken by fear.

… a unique, iconic and very funny black comedy.

All the cinema releases for the year, the ones we reviewed and the ones that we missed.

… easily the best way to appreciate one of Quentin Tarantino’s lowkey but best films.

A bold endeavour, the film’s use of Australia’s natural landscapes is extremely effective in creating a post-apocalyptic atmosphere …

… an absolutely superb piece of filmmaking …

The fight scenes...are a kinetic wonder...

… feels like an improv class on various jungle sets.

… a finely calibrated work that will move and please audiences.

… a simple motorsports story boosted by fun animation and creativity with its set pieces.

… less concerned with resolution than with resonance.

… a quietly unsettling portrait that resists neat conclusions …

... essentially a set of clichés, dressed in Nordic freshness ...

… a shameless throwback to thrillers that were toey, trashy and proudly wore their underpants on their heads in enthusiastic defiance of logic, reason and restraint.

… a wonderful place to spend the next few million years, rough edges and all.

...a winningly tough but profoundly sensitive tale...

… less like a vision of an alien world and more like a familiar Western fantasy, merely dressed in bioluminescent skin.

… woefully overlong for such a (ahem) paper-thin idea …

… slow, methodical and oddly Zen-like …

... the chintziness is simply part of the fun.
