Fuze (2025) 73% 4/5 EDIT “A clever, old-fashioned and well put together mid-budget thriller, one brought credibly into the 21st century and performed by a top-shelf cast who can actually act.” – The Post NZ May 7, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 2/5 EDIT “The Mummy quickly devolves into an Exorcist-based exercise in wringing whatever shocks are still to be found in a possessed-girl-in-the-house scenario, that we haven't all seen a hundred times before.” – The Post NZ May 7, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “I think there is a world in which Undertone was made as a 45-minute horror anthology episode, and I would love to see a version of the film at that length.” – The Post NZ May 7, 2026 Full Review OBEX (2025) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “Writing "it's Eraserhead does The Hobbit" was definitely not on my bingo card for this or any year.” – The Post NZ May 7, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Nothing happens you won't see coming a mile off. But, Bailey is fine as perky and unsinkable Anna. Around her, a support cast of Italian veterans are all committed to keeping the wafer-thin storyline delivering its share of laughs.” – The Post NZ May 7, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 4/5 EDIT “The Drama is a smart film and it deserves an audience. It doesn't quite pull off The Materialists neat trick of being a rom-com, while also deconstructing the entire genre. But it does have plenty on its mind.” – The Post NZ May 5, 2026 Full Review The President's Cake (2025) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is a tough little gem of a film. It is beautiful to look at, shot through with flashes of humour and melodrama, and written with a terrifically acute understanding of a child's way of seeing and making sense of the world.” – The Post NZ May 5, 2026 Full Review The North (2025) 4/5 EDIT “The scenery, naturally, is beyond spectacular. And the story, although it is slight and quietly expressed, is engrossing and moving, in its own faltering way.” – The Post NZ May 5, 2026 Full Review It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (2025) 98% EDIT “A great documentary about Jeff Buckley has been a long time coming. But Amy Berg's It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley is the real deal, and I think it tells the story in the way it needed to be done.” – The Post NZ May 5, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “The action is inventive and well shot. The jokes and jump-scares land. And the gratifyingly excellent cast are mostly given enough to do.” – The Post NZ May 5, 2026 Full Review The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) 91% 2.5/5 EDIT “The sheer volume of Blyton’s writing blinds people to the fact that most of her books were rubbish. And not even a modern retelling with a top-drawer cast can disguise that.” – The Post NZ May 5, 2026 Full Review I Swear (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “I Swear is an absolute gem of a film. It is a plea for kindness and patience in a world that diminishes and undermines those qualities every day.” – The Post NZ May 5, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have got a rare gift for mixing up genres, and for making tough concepts easy to follow and fun. They have a major hit on their hands here.” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Midwinter Break (2026) 65% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is a simple, quiet film, but it is brilliantly performed and assembled. If you have the maturity to hear what it is saying, then I think you might like it very much indeed.” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “Pillion is a hell of a film. It is laugh-out-loud funny, often. But also moving and insightful about everything from male loneliness and dysfunction, to grieving and heartbreak.” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “Sirât is an hallucinatory and nihilistic trip. It is an allegory, I guess. But also a sketch of one corner of the world, and a few perfectly drawn characters who inhabit it. The cinematography - on 16mm film - is exceptional. ” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 4/5 EDIT “The Bride! is a hot blast of fun and a feat of storytelling that gets right up against the ragged edge of derailing in a mess. But Gyllenhaal and her cast keep it all moving forward and the film tumbles across the finish line more or less in one piece.” – The Post NZ Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Holy Days (2026) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “The film strains for a laugh in nearly every scene, when a quieter approach, that didn't try so hard to be liked, might have yielded a more real resonance and pay-off. ” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “Studded with songs and dance, it lays out a spiky, idiosyncratic story in a procession of bold and beautifully designed scenes. This is a film I don't think I'll ever forget I have seen. And I can't ask for more than that.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Crime 101 (2026) 88% 4/5 EDIT “The story is engrossing, the stakes seem real and that cast is an absolute dream.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “A pile of darkly confected fun.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review GOAT (2026) 84% 4/5 EDIT “Goat is a smart, funny and quite beautifully put together movie. It's got its heart in the right place, a fantastic soundtrack and something worthwhile to say. ” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “This is a literate, properly funny, achingly melancholy, joyously filthy and always deeply likeable film.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3.5/5 EDIT “Leave any expectations you might have at home, and just go and enjoy this "Wuthering Heights" for the bonkers good time that it is.” – The Post NZ Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 2/5 EDIT “Although we've seen Jason Statham in variations of this film about 20 times over, he can play this role with a kind of zen-like simplicity now.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review
