#TribecaFilmFestival (@Tribeca) Review: #ThatFriend might not centre around the most likeable people, but there’s enough comedy, sharp performances and ultimate warmth to warrant spending time. theaureview.com/watch/that-f…

To coincide with #Honeyjoon’s release, I had a lovely, deep conversation with writer/director Lilian T. Mehrel about the process of transforming grief into dark comedy. theaureview.com/watch/interv…

Playing at select US theatres across LA, NYC and Chicago this month, #Honeyjoon (@utopiamovies) finds beauty not in overcoming grief, but in learning how to live alongside it. My full review online at @theAUreview. theaureview.com/watch/film-r…

To coincide with the release of #Colony, I had the pleasure of speaking with director Yeon Sang-ho about why his latest monster creations may be more human than we expect. Full interview online at @theAUreview. theaureview.com/watch/interv…

A decade after redefining modern zombie cinema with TRAIN TO BUSAN, filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho returns to familiar infected territory with #Colony, a frenetic, blood-soaked thriller that trades speeding trains for a towering Seoul skyscraper. theaureview.com/watch/film-r…

Am I the only one who actually had no issue understanding THAT line from Mikey at the beginning? The discourse is wild!

Had such a great chat with actress Nina Dobrev, director Kaily Morgan Smith and writer Sarah Adina about their comedic short #GeneralAdmission, playing at this year’s @Tribeca. For @theAUreview we spoke about transforming trauma into comedy. theaureview.com/watch/interv…

My full review of #DisclosureDay: Spielberg has crafted something searching, emotional, and ultimately moving: a sci-fi conspiracy thriller about what happens when the truth is no longer out there, but right in front of us. theaureview.com/watch/film-r…

Emily Blunt is phenomenal in #DisclosureDay. Its second half is stronger - and far more emotional than I imagine many will expect - but that doesn’t mean Spielberg isn’t cooking the entire time. Some genuine moments of wonder peppered across a far more real-world set thriller.

Rami Malek delivers fine, vulnerable work in #TheManILove. It’s a film that when it works, it is heartbreaking and deeply human. When it doesn’t, it feels frustratingly opaque. My @sydfilmfest review. theaureview.com/watch/the-ma…

GAIL DAUGHTRY AND THE CELEBRITY SEX PASS is so gloriously stupid. A slapstick-heavy, self-aware riff on THE WIZARD OF OZ, it goes for big, subtle-free comedy and it mostly lands. Zoey Deutch continues to be one of cinema’s most underrated comedic gems. John Slattery the wild MVP.

#TribecaFilmFestival (@Tribeca) Review: #StandClearTheClosingDoors takes a seemingly small moment and reveals the enormous social weight sitting beneath it – all while refusing to surrender its humor, intelligence, or compassion. theaureview.com/watch/stand-…

Jai Courtney’s quiet rebrand as a beautifully weird character actor continues in #TheFox (@MadmanFilms), an absurdist Australian comedy that, like its namesake, is sly and unpredictable. My @sydfilmfest review here: theaureview.com/watch/the-fo…

Back in January I wrote an article - off the success of ANACONDA - about the 90s movies that could be revisited. I spoke of SINGLE WHITE FEMALE and THE CABLE GUY being two such possibilities. Casting is off, but what’s next? theaureview.com/watch/opinio…

#TribecaFilmFestival (@Tribeca) Review: #CottonFever is a difficult film to sit with, but one that undeniably comes from a place of lived truth and compassion. theaureview.com/watch/cotton…

One of my favourites out of TIFF last year, #CarolinaCaroline - a romantic road movie, con comedy and taut heist drama in one - affords @Sweaving and @KyleGallner nuanced, vulnerable material, with the duo delivering two of their strongest performances. theaureview.com/watch/film-r…

I had the pleasure of speaking with director Josh Alexander about his documentary #SaraBareillesGoodGrief, why grief needs to be witnessed, and how the singer’s extraordinary openness offers audiences permission to confront their own emotions. theaureview.com/watch/interv…
