"The second offering in as many months to hit local screens from exceptionally productive auteur Steven Soderbergh, Black Bag also bears the distinction of being his finest work since at least Logan Lucky in 2017. A sleek, taut thriller, the film sees Soderbergh returning to the glossy surfaces and slyly thumping heartbeat of his finest work to produce a uniquely satisfying, mature spy vehicle." - , VIEW

"B**g Joon-Ho’s follow-up to the earth-shaking Parasite has finally arrived in the form of this melancholy science fiction satire, one that overcomes jumbled, unwieldy plotting through Director B**g’s inimitable blend of peculiarity and humanism. With sterling performances by Robert Pattinson and Naomi Ackie at its centre, it is a wonderfully strange indictment of capitalism that lingers in the mind in spite of more than a little narrative spottiness." - @𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪

"The only Best Picture nominee this year to suffer the ignominious fate of a streaming-only release in New Zealand, RaMell Ross’ remarkable, harrowing Nickel Boys also happens to be the very finest of said lineup. Making use of a brazen stylistic gambit that never feels like a gimmick, it’s a bold, haunting tone poem that at times feels like it’s inventing a new way of watching cinema right before our eyes." - , VIEW

"Terrific performances from leads Sharon Horgan and Michael Sheen bolster this prickly, powerful series, premiering exclusively on Rialto Channel this month. Presenting a profound ethical and moral quandary with no easy answers, it’s a simmering courtroom drama that unfolds with empathy, humanism and few punches pulled." - , VIEW

"The fourth instalment of the beloved everywoman series that helped make Renée Zellweger a star is the closest we’ve come to recapturing the magic of the initial outing. A syrupy-sweet but delicately managed concoction, it’s a crowd-pleaser that makes up for a lack of surprise in well-oiled ex*****on. " - , VIEW

"Industrious American auteur Steven Soderbergh continues a productive era of digital tinkering with this odd ghost story told entirely from the point of view of the restless spirit itself. Strong performances and a knockout finale impress but never quite shake the feeling that Presence remains hemmed in by its formal conceit." - , VIEW

"The final in Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín’s ‘20th Century Women’ trilogy seems destined to be underrated when placed alongside the buzzed-about histrionics of Jackie and the ghostliness of Spencer. Remarkably, it is actually the best of the three, a mournful and fascinating swing for the fences grounded by a moving comeback performance from Angelina Jolie." - , VIEW

"Perhaps fittingly for a film of such immensity and ambition, The Brutalist is a very good film that ultimately falls short of genuine greatness. In the watching, however, one can only relish in director Brady Corbet’s giant achievement, a film that so evokes an older, grander era of cinema as to make its aesthetics feel new again. " - , VIEW

The Brutalist — nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture — is now playing in theaters nationwide.

"Finally returning to Aotearoa after a bow at Whānau Mārama NZIFF, courtesy of Rialto Channel, Mexican filmmaker Lila Avilés' transcendent portrait of coming of age amidst grief is one of the essential films of the 2020s. It marks the arrival of a significant new addition to the roster of major Mexican auteurs alongside Del Toro, Iñarritu, and Cuarón." - 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 (), 𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪

"Six years in the making, the sequel to the Gerard Butler cult action spectacular expands upon the ambition of a film known affectionately by its fans as ‘dirtbag Heat’. Replacing grimy LA streetfights with slick Eurotrash intrigue, it is a film that mostly lives up to the gauntlet thrown down by its predecessor." - , VIEW

"Boxing Day brings no less than six major new releases to the big screen, including these two awards-season heavy-hitters. Both are accomplished, rich dramas for adults - though they couldn’t be more different from each other - with each representing a distinct maturation in style and appeal from their respective directors."

"Hugh Grant continues to expand his repertoire in his recent career resurgence, channelling his devilish charm into sinister roles, notably as the antagonist in this religious (or anti-religious) horror. His performance, alongside the impressive talents of newcomers Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher, elevates an engaging thriller that perhaps overestimates its own intellectual depth."-Tom Augustine, VIEW

"Director Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights) adapts the smash-hit Oz-set musical for the big screen. Glimmers of the stage musical’s power and magnetism appear here and there, particularly in the performance of Ariana Grande, but are too often buried beneath a blandly digital, overly-busy visual palette and a bloated runtime." - , VIEW

"Twenty-four years on, Ridley Scott returns to the historical epic that rocked the world at the turn of the Millennium. For better and for worse, Gladiator II is a film eclipsed by that film’s shadow, struggling valiantly but failing to define itself beyond more of the same." - Tom Augustine , VIEW
