A black-and-white documentary about incarceration might sound like a downer – but this film is special.

The sick shimmer of the original has lost some of its freakshow appeal, but Borat still entertains.

By turns shockingly violent and stunningly beautiful, this stunning film has been a long time coming.

Aaron Sorkin turns dry subjects—such as politics and legal matters—into irresistible confection.

The film is big on ideas, but not crash hot when it comes to grounding them in human motivations.

Expect ghosts, creepy dolls and twists you can see coming a mile away.

If you haven’t guessed by now: this ain’t a happy story.

Will this guy ever stop doing the same stoopid schtick? Does he even care?!

Both these tense, stress-inducing scary movies are well worth your time.

If it sounds uncomfortably exploitative, we can assure you it’s not.

Amazon are really getting into stories about crews working to bring down powerful conspiratorial forces.

The Devil All the Time should feel dense and textured; instead it feels scattered and rushed.

This film is a meticulously mounted period adventure that’s good enough for you to wish it was a little better.

Kaufman is one of those rare screenwriters whose films always feel distinctively his.

Bill and Ted Face the Music is the movie the world needs right now. It really is most excellent.

Now on Stan, this gripping documentary exposé explores heartbreak and deceit.

Helen Reddy is a feminist icon and an Australian legend – but her biopic is a box-ticking exercise.

The show handles its paranormal elements well, effectively deploying bumps and jumps.

Technique over substance, form over function, puzzles over plot, plot over characterisation.

Here’s three capsule reviews.

Wendy is frustratingly elusive—but vivid, memorable, and an original take on a well-battered text.
