I’ve published my ★★★★ review of ‘Jimpa’ for @maketheswitchau.bsky.social.

A tender, deeply personal film about family, queerness and the complicated ways we love each other, with wonderful work from Olivia Colman and John Lithgow.

Jimpa Review: One family's private story of happiness and heartache | SWITCH.
Sophie Hyde's work with Olivia Colman and John Lithgow is a momentously moving organism filled with great life and love. Offering a unique perspective on those we keep close to us in our lives and the way we choose to accept them, 'Jimpa' is both a powerful and tender snapshot of the unconventional family dynamic.

'EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert' is a technical feat like no other. The seamless restoration efforts, matched with a charismatic talent, make this a historical documentary. It's also a testament to Luhrmann's dedication and passion for what he's making.

Wuthering Heights Review: An adaptation that misunderstands what made the novel endure | SWITCH.
From miscast leads lacking chemistry to a bland romance and a misguided focus on its themes - both Emerald Fennell's own and that of the novel - 'Wuthering Heights' is an uninspired misfire that will alienate fans of the source material and newcomers alike. Adaptation is and will always be tricky, b...

We Bury the Dead Review: Finding closure amongst absolute annihilation | SWITCH.
While ‘We Bury the Dead’ technically is a zombie film, its horror comes from a much darker, more terrifying place - the fear we face when we lose the ones we love, and how we can possibly come to terms with that. Daisy Ridley offers us her best performances in years, along with Brenton Thwaites in one of the most off-kilter yet impeccable pairings we didn’t know we needed.

My ★★★★½ review of ‘#ItWasJustAnAccident’ for @maketheswitchau.bsky.social.

Jafar Panahi‘s Cannes-winning (and Oscar-nominated) thriller is as tense and darkly funny as it is courageous, and a powerful reminder of what cinema can do when it doesn’t play safe.

It Was Just An Accident Review: Iranian work of art and act of defiance | Sydney Film Festival Review | SWITCH.
That Jafar Panahi can create something with such craftsmanship and power while completely undercover is a reflection of his brilliance, heroism, and obligation to the people of Iran. To be empassioned, to question, to experience this life for just 101 minutes is a fleeting yet valuable reminder that we are all the same.

OUT TODAY: ‘Is This Thing On?’ frames stand-up comedy as a way into a gentle dramedy about marriage, separation and reinvention.

Bradley Cooper keeps things small, with strong work from Laura Dern and Will Arnett.

Is This Thing On? Review: The mic is experiencing some feedback | SWITCH.
'Is This Thing On?' once again proves Cooper's directing talents, Dern's phenomenal acting, and showcases that Arnett can do drama, but not much more. Its title might make you think this has more to do with stand-up than it does, when in fact it's a dramedy about a marriage that offers more light chuckles than thunderous laughs.

It's a career-defining performance for Timothée Chalamet, and while he's no stranger to being the leading man, this might be his best film yet. In a time where it's cringe to publicly show any semblance of ambition, 'Marty Supreme' is a breath of fresh air.
