Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Without [humor], the films’ graphic demonstrations of the many ways in which the human body can be dismembered, impaled, eviscerated, blown up and otherwise abused would constitute unadulterated sadism.” – Sydney Morning Herald Mar 18, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “It’s a very clever screenplay with unsettling shafts of black humour and perfect pacing. ” – Sydney Morning Herald Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% 3/5 EDIT “The last Hoover adaptation, Regretting You, was a flop because it failed to distil Hoover’s convoluted plot into an emotional cocktail potent enough to justify its weepy finish. This one, which is also out to inspire tears, has a better chance.” – Sydney Morning Herald Mar 11, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 66% 3/5 EDIT “The best lines are swamped by background noise and overlapping dialogue and the action has a zigzagging trajectory without rhythm or variations in mood. ” – The Age (Australia) Mar 10, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 43% 3/5 EDIT “Powell makes a likeable lead and the action sequences are reasonably inventive with some adroit bits of choreography, but none of this outweigh the plot’s fundamental flaws. ” – The Age (Australia) Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Solo Mio (2026) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s rare to find an American movie which approaches mature-age romance as engagingly as this one. It’s sweet-natured with a big heart.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% 3/5 EDIT “Films have taken me to some strange corners of the world but I’ve never felt quite as disoriented as I did while watching Pillion.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 18, 2026 Full Review EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “...in the incidental asides between Elvis, his audiences and his fellow musicians you’ll find a greater display of charm, humour and intimacy than in all two-and-a-half hours of Luhrmann’s biopic. ” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Jimpa (2025) 53% 3.5/5 EDIT “When the main character in a film is a filmmaker herself, it can look like a red flag. But a willingness to risk self-indulgence is part of the daring of Jimpa...” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 57% 3/5 EDIT “All [Margot Robbie] needs is her appeal as an A-list movie star. Her acting talent is a bonus. As for her Heathcliff he’s appropriately cruel, moody and Byronic and more importantly, they make an exquisitely glamorous couple.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Saipan (2025) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “Hardwicke invests every silence with great eloquence.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “There’s very little spark between Dern and Arnett, and while it’s clear that this group of old friends enjoyed putting the film together, they fail to bring us in on the fun.” – Sydney Morning Herald Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “It’s a bravura effort which has deservedly scored an Oscar nomination.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “[Sam Raimi] treats us a crafty mix of blood, gore and gallows humour featuring two actors inviting us to share in the great time they’re having.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “There’s plenty of suspense here, but also a strong strain of gallows humour running through the serpentine storyline as if to pay tribute to the benefits of absurdism as a survival strategy, and Mendonça Filho has done a great job evoking the 1970s.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “It’s a wild ride during which you’re not even tempted to wonder if there’s a man in the monkey suit.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 21, 2026 Full Review David (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “The film’s strengths are in the vitality of its animation and the beauty of its settings. ...Its flaws lie in its evangelical moments which sit oddly with its Disneyfied tone but that doesn’t seem to be deterring audiences.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The film’s storyline is more straightforward than the book’s and its main points are spelt out more emphatically but if the plot loses some of its delicacy on screen, the impact of its ending makes up for it.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Christy (2025) 67% 4/5 EDIT “Bristling with energy and ambition, [Sydney Sweeney's] Christy is an appealingly indomitable figure with a sharp sense of humour. You’re with her all the way as she finally gets back in touch with her urge to survive.” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 7, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Rather than being sentimental, it’s a fundamentally good-natured film, paying homage, as Brewer says, to those who find their niche as entertainers beloved by those audiences who get the chance to find them and see what they can do. ” – Sydney Morning Herald Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s a sweet film with a touching ending and Fraser, with his wide-eyed looks and well-meaning air, is perfect casting but Hikari’s direction is a little too leisurely. It strips out the tension and the film doesn’t work quite as well as it deserves to.” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “The story shapes up as a meditation on the sentimental value of art itself. ” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 3/5 EDIT “Gormican is relying much too much on the nostalgia vote. At the risk of spoiling the party, I confess to finding the whole thing underdone.” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “With a story as intrinsically weird as this one, there is only one way to go: Make it big. And as usual, Cameron doesn’t disappoint. ” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “...the film is a memorable addition to the canon but its extreme enthusiasm for bloodletting and its grisly aftermath mark it as being strictly for the converted.” – Sydney Morning Herald Dec 11, 2025 Full Review
