POOR THINGS

The glory of the unhinged and the delight of discovery in Yorgos Lanthimos' latest

It's a phantasmagorical marvel, a film that literally squeals with delight at every ridiculous detail and revels in the power of discovery. Its brain may be unhinged, but the heart of 'Poor Things' is mighty.

WISH

Disney 100 ends with a fizzle

Animated Disney films are the one thing I look forward to each holiday season, and I haven't been this let down in a long time. It's my 'Wish' that we forget about this one.

ANYONE BUT YOU

Does the rom-com need saving?

If you're looking for the resonant Saver of Rom-Coms or a timeless classic, you're likely to find yourself disappointed. But if you have a cinema coupon and specifically wish to turn off your brain for two hours to watch multiple hot people trapeze around Sydney, then go forth to the cinema with efficiency.

ONE LIFE

A deeply moving portrait of humanity in the face of evil

As inevitable as a film about Sir Nicholas Winton seemed, the stars have aligned for it to arrive at this moment. They aligned with the dedicated creative team and supporting cast, all of whom understood the necessity of this story and the responsibility of dramatising it. And they aligned with the moment in history in which the film itself arrives.

TWO TICKETS TO GREECE

Sets sail with clichés abound but remains on the right track with great performances

As the adage goes, it's not about the destination but the journey. 'Two Tickets To Greece' is the perfect representation of this - while you're not set to experience a revelatory tale, it's through the characters' experiences and growth that really make this a ride worth going on.
