  Slow West 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Jun 2015

  "Slow West is exactly what is says on the tin, a slow-burn western that delivers in its gradual build-up and tips the scales in terms of cementing itself as a rather diverse offering within the rarely visited genre. With Fassbender and Smit-McPhee in the driving seat the film is always in safe hands, and with some simply exquisite direction and cinematography you would be hard pushed to find a more impressive debut feature of this ilk in recent times."

  The Overnight 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Jun 2015

  "Firing through studio logos and title cards to the ear-shielding sounds of wayward ‘dirty talk’, The Overnight brilliantly constructs its foundations prior to any character introductions or narrative development. We are walking on the most fragile of egg shells from the very first to the final second in this lightening-paced 79 minute comedy, and it is all the greater for it."

  Jurassic World 2015

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Jun 2015

  "Jurassic World is a total spellbinder; an absolutely gigantic multi-million dollar event movie that screens with intuitive intimacy and respect thanks to superb focus, and more importantly passion, from the creative minds behind its inception. The park is well and truly open, and by golly is it worth the price of admission. Run and see it…"

  Inside Out 2015

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 May 2015

  "Adults will immediately spot the message of Inside Out: human emotions are complex and often difficult to navigate, particularly when puberty kicks in. Sometimes it is okay to feel melancholic and happy recollections can be tinged with sorrow or seem bittersweet. Although the premise sounds mawkishly sentimental, Docter and his team make this film genuinely funny, clever and delightful."
