🎩 ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ brings back the Four Horsemen for another flashy, forgettable heist. It’s not exactly magic, but it’s fun - and Rosamund Pike’s wild accent makes it worth the ticket.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't Review: The Four Horsemen are back | SWITCH.
It's a serviceable, enjoyable film that you will forget the second you leave the theatre. If it's magic you're looking for, you've come to the wrong film - but if a fun, mindless heist film is what you're craving, then you're in the right place.

'If I Had Legs I’d Kick You' is one of 2025’s best films, with Rose Byrne leading the Best Actress race. Beautiful, raw and deeply human - it captures motherhood with rare truth.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You Review: Rose Byrne’s Oscar campaign begins now | SWITCH.
This is one of the year's best films, with Rose Byrne the current frontrunner for Best Actress. It is so perfectly crafted that every emotion feels like your own, and so authentically depicts the horrors and joys of being a mother.

Die My Love Review: Jennifer Lawrence unravels in an unflinching look at love and loss | SWITCH.
'Die My Love' is a complicated, unpalatable viewing experience. While held together by phenomenal performances from Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, fault lines run deep beneath its foundation. It's an interesting yet imperfect portrait of a woman struggling with life and love after the birth of her child.

OUT TODAY: Elisabeth Moss & Kate Hudson headline ‘#ShellMovie’, a glossy, unsettling horror-comedy about beauty and control. It aims to take a bite at vanity culture, but doesn’t always get a nip.

#HorrorComedy #BodyHorror
Shell Review: A horror comedy with a tough exterior to crack | SWITCH.
'Shell' certainly has a tough exterior, with its messaging barely penetrating past skin deep. Still, it's a rollickingly enjoyable ride with enough laughs and gore, plus effortlessly clever performances from Elisabeth Moss and Kate Hudson to make it worth your time.

Good Fortune Review: Aziz Ansari's directorial debut needs a miracle | SWITCH.
'Good Fortune' has a strong ensemble cast and good jokes that help this generic story about life feel more engaging. It has the bones to be a knock-out, but it falls flat.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ ‘Bugonia’ is a paranoid masterpiece - a chilling descent into delusion, anxiety and control.
Emma Stone delivers a performance for the ages.

Bugonia Review: Lanthimos dissects paranoia and power with precision | SWITCH.
More than anything, it's the recognition you feel as you watch it. The paranoia these characters feel, you know it well - the sense that something is very wrong and that we feel completely powerless to stop it. Few films this year have tapped into that collective anxiety with as much imagination, clarity and bombast as 'Bugonia', yet another remarkable film from one of the great contemporary filmmakers, the master of making us laugh in order to stop us from screaming.

'Kiss of the Spider Woman' does have gorgeous musical numbers and a beautiful story of two cellmates bonding, but the two fail to be integrated successfully to pull off a satisfying final product. The performances are knockouts, as is the singing and dancing, but this spider is one that I only want to kiss once.

OUT NOW: ‘#Springsteen: #DeliverMeFromNowhere’ tries to capture the genius of The Boss but never finds its spark. Scott Cooper's passion for Springsteen can’t save this dull and frustrating biopic.

#MovieReview #BruceSpringsteen
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere Review: The genius of the Boss rendered inert in this dull and frustrating biopic | SWITCH.
It's a real risk with a music biopic that the storyteller either cannot get past their intense love for their subject or that they assume we come to the film with extensive prior knowledge. In this case, writer/director Scott Cooper is guilty of both.

Twinless Review: James Sweeney’s second film is a two-rifficly hilarious & emotional black comedy | Sydney Film Festival Review | SWITCH.

After the Hunt Review: Questions and provocations abound in Luca Guadagnino's latest | SWITCH.
'After the Hunt' is an appropriate title, not just for its discussion of the aftermath of a sexual assault accusation, but for the way every single character in the film wields a weapon, a spear sharpened to startling precision, ready to thrust it into any potential enemy at any point, regardless of whether they are lover, friend or colleague.

'Black Phone 2' feels like a missed opportunity to embellish a world doused in dread.

Tron: Ares Review: Leaving The Grid for the real world leaves little digital magic | SWITCH.
When I come to a 'Tron' film, I don't want to watch people driving around recognisable streets or blowing up buildings. I want to be taken to another world; a digital world of light and sound, where the complications of human fallibility collide with machine certainty. Take away that mythical journey into the digital, and it hardly feels like Tron at all.
