Review – Dallas Buyers Club
[Jared Leto’s] supporting role steals the spotlight, even alongside McConaughey’s colourful and commanding performance.
Review – 12 Years a Slave
When we first meet Solomon (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) he is a skilled fiddle player with a wife and family, but by a ruse he finds himself drugged, chained, and sold to slavers.
Review – The Wolf of Wall Street
The Wolf of Wall Street is not a warts-and-all portrayal of Wall Street vice but is, at its core, an uninteresting brush-up of a man who has already received too much attention.
Review – American Hustle
Let me begin by saying that I found Silver Linings Playbook overhyped and underwhelming which is why I went into David O Russell’s follow-up American Hustle with a touch of trepidation.
We heckle the Fringe Poster
The Adelaide Fringe Festival … is for the punter that celebrates the misfit, likes a bit of grit in their culture, and is eager to engage with their art… This poster fails to capture what the fringe is all about: a festival for the different, marvellous, unconventional acts that don’t really belong anywhere else in the arts scene.
Review – SA Designer Showcase and Emerging Designer Award
If this is what is coming through in the emerging designer space then there are exciting times ahead.
Review – Made in SA
It is hard not to walk away from this film in awe of… home-grown SA talent in the field.
Review – Cosimo and Nicole
Boy meets girl. Girl and boy fall in love. Bad thing happens. Love is tested. Audience rapidly loses interest in film.
Review – Every Blessed Day
Every Blessed Day is a love story, and a sweet little one at that, about the trials and melodrama of an ongoing relationship.
Review – The Red and the Blue
Whoever said that all high-school dramas ought to be damming, finger-jabbing films with moral outrage and deep-seeded messages? Is it really such a crime to make a simple film that tells a story, without trying to convince everyone to light up some torches, grab a few pitchforks and rage against the machine?
Review – The Human Cargo
There’s a disarming ‘what were we thinking?’ nature to some of that interview footage, crisp and HD as it is against the grainy and immediate, unfiltered news footage of the time. But it is the latter, the incredible archive stuff spun towards us with a wild metal soundtrack at times, that is the real core of this work.
Review – The Interval
It is evident that the film was made on a shoestring budget… but it shouldn’t feel like it so much.
Review – The Worst Week of my Life
It’s all heavily reminiscent of Meet the Parents: at its best we get a few laughs; at its worst we’re already asleep.
Review – Ladynerd
Both performers are hugely energetic and their clear enthusiasm is highly infectious, making for a captivating performance.
