In a year when Pixar came roaring back to life with the box office phenomenon that was Inside Out 2, all eyes now turn to DreamWorks Animation and their adaptation of Peter Brown's beloved 2016 novel, The Wild Robot. As fate would have it, they've gone and delivered what might just be their greatest work to date. And it could be the film that finally delivers the studio's first Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Heck, throw it in the mix for a Best Picture nomination too. Yep,...

The music industry is a funny thing. A musician can be one of the most recognisable people imaginable in one territory and a relative unknown in another. Such is the case with Robbie Williams; a popstar of the highest level of fame and success in places like the United Kingdom (seven #1 singles and 13 #1 albums), Europe, and my home country of Australia. Yet, in the United States, he could likely stroll down the street and few would bat an eyelid. Pretty wild for someone who has...

The quest to elect a new Pope doesn't sound like it would make for particularly gripping cinema. Think again, folks. Edward Berger’s masterful Conclave turns the solemn, ritualistic Vatican setting into a stage for tension, moral ambiguity, and unexpected twists and shocks, making it 2024's most thoughtful thriller. With a sharp script that brings out the political intrigue beneath the façade of devout unity and powerhouse performances from a stellar ensemble cast led by an Oscar-worthy Ralph Fiennes, Conclave brilliantly explores how ambition, secrecy, and faith interweave in this...

You're going to hear a lot of people say Anora is this generation's Pretty Woman. Sure, both films feature a tough, intelligent, and confident female sex worker as their lead character, but that's really where the similarities end. While Julia Roberts found true romance with her gentleman suitor, that's not really writer/director Sean Baker's intention with his latest masterwork that continues his dedication to telling human stories that remove the stigma around sex work. A brilliant romantic comedy with plenty of laughs but an equal measure of humanity, heart, and...

Take two of the best actors working right now, pair them with the director of one of this decade's best romantic dramas, and throw in a gorgeous story that explores the power of love, the fragility of life, and the elusive nature of time and you have We Live in Time; one of the loveliest films you will experience this year. With a script brimming with warmth and authenticity, the film balances heartache and sadness with hope and humour. Perfectly led by Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, it's...

There's no point in beating around the bush here. Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist is a staggeringly impressive exercise in modern filmmaking and a film of relentless ambition and emotional depth that anchors its sweeping historical narrative with profound intimacy. With a running time of 3.5 hours, it’s a mighty epic in every sense of the word and a grand meditation on exile, creativity, and resilience. But it's also a deeply personal story that examines the sacrifices artists make for their vision. As a young filmmaker, Corbet ascends to...
