A gorgeous reminder that the most beautiful aspects of human life can be found in the smallest places, and it’s the string that connects us from heart-to-heart that makes each day worth living.

J.K. Rowling did a really terrible job with this screenplay. The whole thing is lazy, contrived, and has way too much exposition.

This is a film that will divide, and is certainly not for everyone. Luca Gadagnino has created a dark symphony in honour of the classic, in the process creating a work just as powerful and unsettling.

‘Journey’s End’ isn’t an epic, guns-blazing war film. Instead, it’s a hard-hitting, timeless exploration of the psychological impact of fear and the struggle to remain brave.

There's something quite moving and sorrowful about ‘Boy Erased’, and it gives us the chance to see Lucas Hedges in a lead role, something long overdue and enormously satisfying.

Paul Dano is a director to watch, and the performances are excellent. This isn’t a film that tries to make much noise, but it beats with a heart that is clear and strong, and leaves you deeply moved.

A spirited performance from Malek and some exciting recreations can only do so much to balance the pedestrian screenplay. If you want to show the life of someone shrouded in legend, do so accordingly.

Not only is this a thoughtful mediation on Australian youth and (at times) a complete tear-jerker, but it's also a striking-looking film. It’s impossible not to become emotionally invested.

‘Halloween’ is more than worthy of the legacy of Carpenter’s foundational classic, and an impressive piece of horror filmmaking in its own right.

An eerie, cleverly-assembled horror film, with scares that will vary depending on how big of a horror buff you are.

There’s such a need to treat an important topic with appropriate weight, but many moments that could have packed more punch thanks to the work of Carrell and Chalamet end up feeling bloated.

The material is tough to absorb. At times, ‘The Cleaners’ feels more like a grim, neon-lit, science-fiction noir than a documentary.

An oppressive but thought-provoking viewing experience that peers deep into the Russian soul and finds there an unfathomable blackness.

A truly inspirational and fascinating look into a style icon, this is the story of her life, and it is a fascinating life to witness.

This film has all the ingredients to rock audiences to their core with characters and a tale that truly means something.

This film is missing any real stakes, any real anticipation, any real tension. It’s an outdated concept of Australian storytelling, and audiences deserve much better.

A powerful and moving experience, it will leave you marvelling at the ability of our species to dream, to invent, to strive and to survive.

Is it just a great little genre play on the trope of a group of strangers forced together under unusual circumstances, or is it something much bigger? You’ll just have to find out for yourself.

The opening half hour is all about the adrenal rush of planning and strategising a heist, but occasionally feels like an exercise in style over substance.

While ‘Venom’ has plenty of rough edges, I’d rather watch a scrappy film that was genuinely entertaining and different than another by-the-numbers instalment in a franchise whose edges have been sanded down into nothingness.

When you tell people that there was an animated version of ‘The Lord of the Rings’, they either think you’re joking or stare in disbelief.

It's more of stylish homage to cult gangster cinema than an attempt to redefine and relaunch the Yakuza genre. This crime thriller will leave an impact on you.

Win one of five double passes to see 'Robin Hood' in cinemas.

This could be the best World War II action/horror film to date. If you’re looking for a gory Nazi-mutant kill-fest, then look no further.

Win one of five double passes to see 'Spitfire' in cinemas.

SWITCH has put together a collection of the scariest films from 2018! Wander back through some brilliant horror offerings, and bring in All Hallow's Eve with the best movies that go bump in the night.

For a non-fiction piece of filmmaking, its emotional intelligence is grounded in such tangible intimacy, it is heartbreaking as much as it is astonishing.

A tough watch with a strong central performance, but it doesn’t quite overcome an extremely pared-down story that doesn’t have much to say.

In its best moments, ‘The Raft’ strives in teaching us how simple it can be for our ambition to become our downfall.

For a film that proves unrelentingly misguided, ‘Our New President’ offers very few redeeming qualities. It is a miscellany of disinteresting acclamations devoid of any insight.

Xavier Legrand's ‘Custody’ is a powerful exploration of the aftermath of divorce and the trauma of abuse.

The film acts as an hour-long reconstruction of Hitchcock’s 1958 suspense classic, replicating the original using only clips from other '50s noir, experimental films, '70s prime-time TV, and more.

Rough edges aside, ‘Killing Jesus’ is a well-shot, tense drama that traces the intersection of the complexities of grief.

More dismal than dark comedy, and more an advertisement for AA than a tale of redemption, this lacklustre biopic from Gus Van Sant is missing the genre’s most important trait - humanity.

The animation is cute, bright and easily digestible for tiny human eyes. Despite the heavy subject matter, this film displays great humour delivered by adorable and fun characters.

It’s a pity it doesn’t work as well as it should, because there’s a really great children’s film in there. It’s only just fun enough to make it not totally forgettable.

A charming look at the Paul Walker the public never got to see, and provides a wonderful eulogy to the man that fans will enjoy.

An unflinchingly provocative piece of work about how we choose to perceive the pain of others and the psychodramas that can shape from bleeding our real lives into our art.

‘Ladies in Black’ left me feeling bored and borderline appalled that this film will be seen as a representation of not only ourselves but our country as artists and filmmakers.

The film pays homage to a wide selection of genre classics. If you are attuned to the very specific influences and psychedelic frequencies emitted by this movie, ‘Mandy’ is an absolute delight.
