James Ashcroft’s Grand Guignol in a NZ nursing home is vicious and mean-spirited. Geoffrey Rush and John Lithgow sustain the ghastly pas de deux. THE RULE OF JENNY PEN is difficult to shake off. My review for @awfjorg.bsky.social awfj.org/blog/2025/02...

Steven Soderbergh’s vision for Presence is wholly unlike other filmed ‘paranormal and poltergeist’ stories — a sophisticated examination of trauma, redemption, and the ongoing nature of loss. My review for @awfjorg.bsky.social awfj.org/blog/2025/02...

Matthew Rankin’s UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE is a meticulous fantasy offering an idiosyncratic vision of a world connected by the threads of chance and fate; but most powerfully through kindness and stories told on screens. Via @awfjorg.bsky.social awfj.org/blog/2024/08...

I did not expect to enjoy the last entry in the Bridget Jones series, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone's favourite hapless, romcom heroine's final diary entry is witty, charming, and unexpectedly moving. Hugh Grant on fire. Review at @thisisfilm.bsky.social thisisfilm.com/review/bridg...

Bonus Track can be a little sugary but not every queer coming of age story needs to be mired in trauma. Joe Anders and Samuel Hall have terrific chemistry and are both names to keep an eye on. Queer kids deserve their fantastic romances too. www.thecurb.com.au/bonus-track-...

I talked to the director of The Substance, Coralie Fargeat, for The Curb about why body horror is the perfect genre to explore feminism and to reach audiences who would usually be resistant to stories like the ones she wants to tell.

Lee Gambin was, and remains, an inspiration. Lee invited people into his vast wealth of film knowledge. He made community. The Lee Gambin Award will be ongoing. Thank you to @horrornonna.com for being the liaison and a legend.

INSIDE is unforgettable top-tier Australian cinema – blazing with a ferocious humanism. Charles Williams makes his way into the pantheon of great Australian directors. My review of the film starring Guy Pearce, Cosmo Jarvis, and Vincent Miller. www.thecurb.com.au/inside-revie...

Satirical, metatextual, and a loving throwback to the movies people grew up with, HEART EYES isn’t deep or difficult. It’s good, clean, nasty and viscerally violent, fun. awfj.org/blog/2025/02...
