MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Monkeying Around
All you’ll really remember from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the mo-cap monkeys you can’t tell from the real thing.
Back in Time
Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In is the best Walled City movie since Bloodsport. Oh my.
Sweetbitter
Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki’s absurd rom-com Fallen Leaves is a love it or hate it affair.
Yes, ‘Guy’!
David Leitch, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt seriously go boom, in the best way, in The Fall Guy.
Legally Dead
It might be time for Mr Zhang to hang up his VF. Article 20 is another misfire.
Captain, My Captain
Italian diretor Matteo Garrone leaves the mean streets behind in favour of a plea for humanity in Io Capitano.
Not Just Sport
Zar Amir Ebrahimi is still taking the Iranian state to task, this time in a classic sports drama, Tatami.
‘War’ Heroes
Alex Garland’s Civil War isn’t what you think it is and it’s not going to serve any of our biases.
Over the ‘Moon’
First-timer Sasha Chuk gets personal in the semi-autobiographical Fly Me to the Moon.
Get the Gauze
Ado-rom! That’s it. 18x2 Beyond Youthful Days is a better adolescent romance than most.
Good ‘Omen’
It could be a lot scarier, but The First Omen is a legit strong addition to an under-exploited property.
