By Simon Miraudo June 8, 2014 Steven Knight‘s Locke makes us ride ‘shotgun’ with Tom Hardy for 85 minutes and doesn’t let us out until the final credits roll. There are worse people to be stuck in traffic with. Carrot Top. Piers Morgan. Literally any Jenner. The makers of 1996 flop Carpool tested the limits of […]

By Simon Miraudo July 8, 2013 The Fifth Season will be a sobering experience for anyone who has long denied the possibility of Earth’s ecosystem collapsing upon itself, and a terrifying one for those who sulk if the tap water doesn’t get hot enough for a shave (I, shamefully, belong to the latter group).

By Simon Miraudo July 5, 2013 Joshua Oppenheimer‘s The Act of Killing is, at the very least, unlike anything we’ve seen before. Gruelling, harrowing, and weirdly funny, it follows the real-life Indonesian gangsters who were tasked by militia in the 1960s to execute communists, intellectuals, and the Chinese. Many of these subjects are seemingly untroubled […]

The Sydney Film Festival is officially in full swing, and the Melbourne International Film Festival just recently announced its first batch of flicks.

Tyrannosaur plays the Revelation Perth International Film Festival on Saturday July 16 and Monday July 18. Directorial debuts are rarely as brutal or furious as Paddy Considine’s Tyrannosaur.
