Rebecca Miller’s latest is an an unconvincingly self-aware riff on Woody Allen’s early romantic comedies.
The True Cost
THE TRUE COST is a documentary about the impact of the fashion industry on the human rights and the environment.
The Angry Birds Movie
Surprisingly, The Angry Birds Movie lands for both children and adults, an amusing (if extremely light) film about acceptance, community and slingshots.
Marguerite
The promising start of Xavier Giannoli’s latest film MARGUERITE is let down by inadequate evolution of its characters and themes, despite the charisma of Catherine Frot’s lead performance.
Girls Lost
Although not without its own issues, Alexandra-Therese Keining’s latest is an intriguing exploration of identity.
The Dressmaker
THE DRESSMAKER is a fascinating and surprisingly experimental film, retaining the penetrability and broad appeal lacking in many films of the same style.

Riccardo Milani’s DO YOU SEE ME is an effective comedy tackling gender issues in the workplace, its success resting on the shoulders of its charming lead performance.
Miss You Already
Catherine Hardwicke’s latest rises above typical Hollywood cancer dramas through a moving performance from Toni Collette and a refreshing look at sexuality in times of illness.
How to Dance in Ohio
Focusing on a centre for those with special needs in the lead-up to a dance, Alexandra Shiva’s latest documentary is a disappointingly shallow look at people living with high-functioning autism.
Hungry Hearts
Saverio Costanzo’s latest film is an underwhelming exploration of a relationship between two people with divergent personalities.
