The engine that is entirely driving this show is simply the desire to show off one’s most true self. It just so happens that this radical act of vulnerability is also set against an iconic Britney mega-mix. Run, don’t walk.

CLUB NITE showcases a night out where the three friends, a straight girl, a drug-dealing pansexual and a Berlin-loving bisexual, who all want to attend three separate well-known Melbourne hotspots - Yah Yahs, a house party, and a rave at Yarra bend.

Webster’s Henry V is ultimately a disjointed and familiar take on the bard’s play. However, Harrington excels at recontextualising the play in its exploring the themes of war, nationalism and leadership through the prism of the twenty-first century. It may not be the most effective modernisation, but Harrington’s larger-than-life performance is certainly worth the watch.

It'd be hard to prime anyone for the journey the feature takes you on, and to do so would in part ruin the fun. It's a thunderous Pandora's Box of a film, a disorganised mixed bag of funhouse tricks that's rewarding sporadically, but always daring.

Set in the swingin’ 60’s, yet again following the hijinx of the minions after finally finding their purpose at the close of Minions, they immediately lose Gru again and retread the American countryside, this time to San Franbisco. 

A “quirky and unique spin on the animated fairy tale genre” that is actually just as cliche as the rest of them.

Lightyear is an absolute feat of digitised filmmaking and some of the best animation I’ve ever seen.

Simplistic, formulaic, and crowd-pleasing, The Kitchen Brigade plays it safe with emotional beats you’ve seen before, but its wholesome characterisation is guaranteed to melt your heart.

Acclaimed director Asghar Farhadi’s latest film A Hero proffers a complex moral parable that provokes deep thought about individual actions.

As blockbuster sequels grow increasingly more divisive and audiences more critical, is that enough? Can a film ride on the sway of dinosaurs and Jeff Goldblum alone? The answer is… kind of, actually.

Biographical films can at times garner the need to intellectualise and dissect the life of the individual and the film itself, Benediction is different. Benediction is meant to be felt.

Following the true story of 21-year-old Jewish graphic artist Cioma Schönhaus as he tries to survive day to day living in Nazi Occupied Berlin in 1942, The Forger is a harrowing story of deception and survival with a surprisingly optimistic protagonist.

The highly anticipated third film of visionary Ex Machina and Annihilation director Alex Garland seemed primed and posed to be one of the most insightful, and timely, films of the year. An alluring blend of “woke” horror and psychological disturbia ready to spark riveting conversation and horrify us with the realities women must face on a day to day basis. 

It's a séance in the city.

Everyone I asked about The Bob’s Burgers Movie didn’t know it existed, and I’m ashamed to say this slipped under my radar up until its release as well. If it is destined for hidden gem status, it will fit right in with the show’s legacy in this truly underrated franchise.

More intimate, sensual and depressing than a whimsical period drama, Mothering Sunday is a breath of fresh air in a typically repetitive genre.

A testament to the quality of this film and its handling of suspense […] is that although there are missiles and all manner of other Fast and Furious-esque set pieces, nothing is more thrilling than a low-fi, nostalgic dog fight using nothing more than bullets and mean words. 

Firestarter is a disappointingly damp affair, a film that's all fuse; frustratingly flickering between stupid and boring.

Complete with a Marlon Brando surrogate and nods to B-movie exploitation, it's clear that for the most part, Pompo The Cinéphile has its heart in the right place. Viewed purely as blissful escapism, it's a sugar-coated ode to the idea that with enough passion, anyone can make it.

This is a story about how modern masculinity is killing the world, and how feminism can save it. It's a story about sex and power and trauma and resistance and persistence.
