A Private Life (2025) 81% 3/5 EDIT “Though this movie can seemly slightly unsure of itself at times – particularly when it comes to switching between scenes of heady drama and breezy comedy – Foster's unshakeable presence never lets the overall standard slide.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) May 14, 2026 Full Review Mortal Kombat II (2026) 65% 2.5/5 EDIT “Many characters from the first movie and a few fresh recruits to keep busy, the movie does often feel as if it is keeping too many plates spinning at once. However, in terms of energy levels sustained, a very honourable pass mark has been achieved here. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) May 14, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 71% 1.5/5 EDIT “The lead performances here are curiously stilted. Robotic, almost. Hathaway does a solid job anchoring the Mary-in-concert sequences, but it’s not enough to make up for the dire talk dominating so much of the picture.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) May 14, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Oh, and it should be added that despite its darkly comic inclinations, Hokum is often downright scary, particularly once all is revealed in an unforgettable final act. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) May 7, 2026 Full Review The Sheep Detectives (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “ The Sheep Detectives not only does a wonderful job in keeping its whodunit machinery chugging away efficiently. It also maintains a gentle and amusing lightness of touch that younger viewers will genuinely appreciate and enjoy.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) May 7, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “See it with friends who love the franchise just as much as you do, and you will be in high-couture heaven once more. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) May 1, 2026 Full Review Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 46% 2/5 EDIT “While both pleasing and queasing to the eye like so many a modern horror movie, this one is low on frights and skimpy on story when it truly counts. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Beast (2026) 82% 3/5 EDIT “The fight scenes are well choreographed and edited, and the occasional intercession of the movie’s co-writer Russell Crowe as Patton’s wily former trainer keeps the energy levels trending upwards.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 2/5 EDIT “More often than not, it is when Jackson is away from the spotlight that the movies regresses into a tragicomic cartoon. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 22, 2026 Full Review Outcome (2026) 28% 1.5/5 EDIT “There is both a bitterness and a grating sense of self-importance to much of what is depicted here that is almost impossible for ‘civilian’ viewers to relate to.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 16, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% 3/5 EDIT “While the will-they-or-won’t-they? of it all is never really in dispute, Bailey and Page have the rapport and repartee to make this nonsense make perfect sense. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Fuze (2025) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “Though a few late-breaking plot twists strain credibility to its absolute breaking point, Fuze never once goes close to wearing out its welcome. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “Those who can pick up the frequency Jarmusch and his cast are transmitting on here will be charmed and oddly comforted by the end result.” – Herald Sun (Australia) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% 2.5/5 EDIT “While this new offering does not mess too significantly with the franchise’s proven winning formula, there’s just enough new characters and in-jokes to keep the massive Mario fanbase engaged and enamoured throughout.” – Herald Sun (Australia) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The Deb (2024) 85% 3/5 EDIT “The movie’s undeniable strength comes from a clutch of catchy, witty and unrelentingly brassy songs.” – Herald Sun (Australia) Apr 9, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 3/5 EDIT “The story here runs out of juice well before the finale, but Beetz and a very motivated production design team keep giving their all right to the end. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 1, 2026 Full Review The Magic Faraway Tree (2026) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “If a bountiful supply of characters with self-explanatory names such as Dame Washalot, Moonface, Saucepan Man and The Angry Pixie make any appeal, bump this up the must-see list for the family immediately.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 1, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Zendaya and Pattinson are expertly cast in two tonally different, but equally difficult roles. Yes, they have chemistry, but it is the commitment they display to their characters in crisis that truly impresses here.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Apr 1, 2026 Full Review La Grazia (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “This is a classy, deeply engrossing offering, perhaps best appreciated by those fascinated by what the ethical deployment of political power has come to mean in the present day. Yet another fine work from Italian writer-director Paolo Sorrentino.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Mar 25, 2026 Full Review I Swear (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The raw authenticity of Aromayo’s performance and an open-heartedly sincere and funny screenplay are gifts that keep giving right through to the end. Highly recommended.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “With the Easter school holidays looming on the near horizon, this has to be the clear first choice for those seeking top-notch family-friendly fare. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Cold Storage (2026) 81% 3/5 EDIT “The creature designs unleashed throughout the movie are truly inspired, and the dialogue is zippier and quippier than many will have expected. Good gross-out stuff, this. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “Once the rules of this ghoulish game are locked down, the movie remains stuck inside a loop of brutal violence, so-so comedy and semi-inspired set pieces that gets duller by the minute. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “The action (and interactions) that unfold remain truly awe-inspiring and utterly engaging throughout. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Midwinter Break (2026) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “A touch depressing, yes, but always worthwhile.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Mar 12, 2026 Full Review
