Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “Rather than alienating outsiders with dense fan service, Burning Ambition opens the door wide and makes a compelling case for why Iron Maiden continue to matter fifty years later.” – The AU Review May 7, 2026 Full Review Mortal Kombat II (2026) 66% 3/5 EDIT “It is loud, violent, messy, funny and frequently ridiculous – but crucially, it knows that. For fans, this is a blood-soaked step in the right direction.” – The AU Review May 6, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 88% 2.5/5 EDIT “Ultimately, Hokum is a film caught between two identities: a meditative exploration of grief and a more traditional supernatural thriller. It never quite reconciles the two.” – The AU Review Apr 30, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% 4/5 EDIT “It honours what came before while confidently stepping into something new, ultimately proving that this story – and these characters – still have plenty to say.” – The AU Review Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Wolfram (2025) 96% 3/5 EDIT “It may not reach the stark, poetic heights of Samson and Delilah, but Wolfram stands as a powerful and visually arresting addition to Thornton’s body of work.” – The AU Review Apr 29, 2026 Full Review The Sheep Detectives (2026) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s a charming, quietly profound little whodunit that sticks with you – for its laughs, yes, but also for its surprisingly tender view of the world.” – The AU Review Apr 27, 2026 Full Review Apex (2026) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “At a tight 100 minutes, Apex understands exactly what it is: a sharp, well-crafted ride that leans into performance, place, and momentum. And sometimes, that’s more than enough.” – The AU Review Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 2.5/5 EDIT “Intermittently electrifying, often frustratingly hollow, and ultimately too cautious to do justice to its subject.” – The AU Review Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 47% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s eerie, emotionally grounded, and anchored by a breakout performance that signals a formidable new talent.” – The AU Review Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Beast (2026) 86% EDIT “By the time the credits roll, Beast may not have reinvented the genre, but it doesn’t need to. It lands its punches where it counts - on the idea that redemption isn’t found in victory, but in the willingness to keep getting back up.” – Cinefied Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Wasteman (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “It may not be easy viewing, but it’s the kind of film that lingers – long after the cell door finally opens.” – The AU Review Apr 13, 2026 Full Review A Love Like This (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “Quietly affecting: a romance that understands love not as a solution, but as a complication.” – The AU Review Apr 9, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% 2/4 EDIT “As it stands, though, it’s a glossy imitation of a formula that requires a lighter touch and a stronger point of view.” – The AU Review Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 4.5/5 EDIT “It’s provocative, yes. Potentially confronting, absolutely. But above all, it’s thrillingly alive – messy, funny, unsettling, and just a little bit dangerous. Exactly the kind of drama worth having.” – The AU Review Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% 2/5 EDIT “Falls into a classic sequel trap: bigger, busier, and far less focused. ” – The AU Review Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s a film to savour – unassuming, wryly funny, and unexpectedly moving in the way it sneaks up on you.” – The AU Review Mar 31, 2026 Full Review The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) 91% 3/5 EDIT “An amiable, gently charming adaptation – one that embraces imagination over logic, even if it occasionally leaves you wishing for a little more substance among the sweetness.” – The AU Review Mar 26, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “A savage, stylish, and relentlessly entertaining mash-up of action and horror that rarely lets you catch your breath.” – The AU Review Mar 26, 2026 Full Review The Pirate King (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “Deeply human, disarmingly funny, and quietly powerful.” – The AU Review Mar 24, 2026 Full Review Crash Land (2026) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s a heartfelt, frequently hilarious reminder that sometimes the messiest stories are the ones that resonate the most.” – The AU Review Mar 23, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “If the original was a perfectly aimed dagger, Here I Come is a blood-splattered sledgehammer. Not as precise, but still capable of doing some serious damage.” – The AU Review Mar 19, 2026 Full Review Same Same but Different (2026) 3.5/5 EDIT “The title may promise similarity, but what the film actually delivers is something refreshingly distinct: a cross-cultural comedy that finds both its laughs and its warmth in the beautiful contradictions of identity.” – The AU Review Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% 3/5 EDIT “Predictable? Absolutely. But also heartfelt, occasionally moving, and just sweet enough to earn its place in the growing Hoover-on-screen canon.” – The AU Review Mar 13, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “The film is thrilling, funny, and unexpectedly moving. It’s the kind of big, imaginative cinema that reminds us why we go to the movies in the first place.” – The AU Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Plague is not an easy watch, but it’s an unforgettable one: a haunting exploration of boyhood, shame, and the terrifying moment when children realise just how much power they hold over one another.” – The AU Review Mar 12, 2026 Full Review
