There’s a quiet confidence to A Love Like This that sneaks up on you. What begins as a sun-drenched romantic escape gradually reveals itself to be something far more introspective – an intimate, emotionally levelled portrait of two people trying to hold onto something that perhaps was never built to last. Directed by John Asher,…
There’s a very specific kind of cinematic daydream that films like Under the Tuscan Sun perfected – sun-drenched escapism where heartbreak is healed by good wine, better views, and the promise of reinvention. You, Me & Tuscany clearly wants to bottle that same vintage. The problem is, somewhere along the way, it forgets that charm…
For more than a decade, Lincoln Lewis has been a familiar presence on Australian screens, but his journey from eager newcomer to seasoned performer has been anything but static. Starting out at just thirteen with early roles in The Sleepover Club, Mortified and H2O: Just Add Water, Lewis quickly built a foundation that would lead…
Sometimes the wrong place is exactly where you’re meant to be. That idea sits at the heart of You, Me & Tuscany, a sun-drenched romantic comedy that leans into chaos, coincidence, and the courage it takes to follow your instincts – even when they lead you somewhere wildly unexpected. Produced by hitmaker Will Packer, whose…
There’s something deeply fitting about Rebel Wilson making her directorial debut with a musical. Joyous, scrappy, and unmistakably Australian, The Deb feels like a love letter to the kind of films that shaped her – the bold, eccentric classics like Muriel’s Wedding, Strictly Ballroom, and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert that didn’t…
Towards the end of the new Australian musical The Deb there’s an uplifting song-and-dance sequence to a ditty titled “Pretty Strong”, and that’s an acceptable enough term to describe Rebel Wilson‘s directorial debut. The comedienne makes for a serviceable presence behind the camera as she injects an infectiousness and often-home-grown-specific humour into the proceedings of…
For anyone who grew up on a steady diet of Saturday morning television, Jennie Kwan is a face – and voice – you’ve likely carried with you far longer than you realise. From her breakout as Samantha Woo on California Dreams to voicing fan-favourite warrior Suki in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Kwan’s career has quietly…
There’s something almost fitting about how The Boys bows out: loud, messy, confrontational, and completely sure of itself. Season 5 doesn’t attempt a reinvention. Instead, it doubles down on everything that made the series essential viewing in the first place, delivering a finale that feels both earned and unflinchingly true to its identity. Developed by…
Few fictional worlds have embedded themselves into the cultural consciousness quite like The Handmaid’s Tale. In the decades since Margaret Atwood first published her landmark novel, Gilead has become shorthand for a very real kind of fear – one that has only felt more immediate with time. So when she released The Testaments more than…
Few television worlds have felt as fully realized – or as suffocating – as Gilead, the theocratic regime at the heart of The Handmaid’s Tale. But with The Testaments, showrunner Bruce Miller isn’t simply returning to that world – he’s reframing it entirely. Based on Margaret Atwood’s sequel novel, the series shifts perspective to a…
Thanks to Rialto Distribution, we have 5n double digital in-season passes (Admit 2) to see Rebel Wilson‘s directorial debut in theatres, the charming musical comedy The Deb, screening from April 9th, 2026.

You know how when you go and see a scary movie, you’ll either be one of those people who covers their ears or their eyes when they can sense something bad is about to happen? Well, when it comes to Undertone, I really couldn’t advise which is the best move. Because although this film is…
There’s a moment early in The Drama where everything still feels deceptively perfect. The lighting is soft, the chemistry is effortless, and Zendaya and Robert Pattinson move through their relationship with the kind of easy, enviable rhythm that makes strangers roll their eyes and secretly take notes. It’s a rom-com fantasy – polished, aspirational, and…
There’s a moment early in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie where a glowing Luma drifts into frame, wide-eyed and urgent, setting off a galaxy-spanning rescue mission. It’s the kind of whimsical, high-concept storytelling the Mario universe thrives on – colorful, strange, and full of possibility. Unfortunately, that promise quickly gets swallowed by a film that…
Winner of the Camera d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 and the Directors’ Fortnight Audience Award, The President’s Cake arrives with a wave of international acclaim – and it’s not hard to see why. Set in 1991 Iraq, during the final years of Saddam Hussein’s rule, the film follows nine-year-old Lamia, tasked with baking…
This summer, fear doesn’t knock – it breaks in. Inspired by the chilling legacy of Cape Fear, a new nightmare begins when Cape Fear premieres June 5th on Apple TV. From executive producers Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg comes a relentless psychological thriller where the past refuses to stay buried. Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson…
With his original upload, Kane Parsons redefined the landscape of horror for a new generation. Now, making his feature debut, Backrooms will expand the terror for the big screen, with Academy Award nominees Chiwitel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve leading the charge as a therapist ventures into an otherworldly dimension in the basement of a furniture…
There’s something quietly disarming about Father Mother Sister Brother – a film that unfolds not with grand declarations, but in glances, silences, and the emotional spaces left unspoken. Structured as a triptych spanning the Northeast US, Dublin, and Paris, it explores the fragile, often complicated bonds between adult children and their parents, as well as…
There’s something quietly radical about a filmmaker as singular as Jim Jarmusch making a film that feels this small. Father Mother Sister Brother doesn’t announce itself with narrative urgency or emotional fireworks – instead, it invites you to lean in, to notice, to sit with the awkward silences and half-truths that define family. And in…
In the crowded landscape of sitcoms, where shows often lean on predictable tropes or overly polished humor, Baby Daddy carved out a space that felt refreshingly warm, chaotic, and genuinely funny. While it may not always be the first title people mention when reminiscing about pleasing 2010s comedies, it absolutely should be part of that…
Set against the breathtaking expanse of the Ningaloo Reef and filmed on Baiyungu Country, Whale Shark Jack is a sweeping yet intimate family adventure that explores grief, healing, and our deep connection to the natural world. The Stan Original follows 12-year-old Sarah, played by Alyla Browne, a fearless ocean kid raised aboard a research catamaran…
A quarter-century on from its 2001 release, Get Over It stands as one of the most gleefully offbeat teen comedies of its era – a film that never quite fit the mold, and is all the better for it. Arriving at a time when the genre was dominated by glossy prom-night fantasies and raunch-heavy gross-out…
Adapting The Magic Faraway Tree for the screen was never going to be straightforward. Simon Farnaby, who helped bring the charm of Paddington 2 and Wonka to life, takes a decent swing at translating Enid Blyton’s whimsical, plot-light books into something resembling a cohesive family film. The result is a bright, well-meaning adventure that captures…
There’s a delicate balance at the heart of The Magic Faraway Tree – between whimsy and emotional truth, chaos and comfort – and few characters embody that better than Dame Washalot. In this vibrant new adaptation, based on Enid Blyton’s beloved classic, audiences are reintroduced to a world where fantastical lands spin into place atop…
They. Will. Kill. You. And unlike most horror taglines, this one isn’t bluffing. With They Will Kill You, director Kirill Sokolov storms into English-language filmmaking like he’s got something to prove – and judging by the sheer volume of bloodshed on display, he absolutely does. Best known for his gleefully unhinged Why Don’t You Just…
At the trailer launch for Forgotten Island, directors Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, alongside voice stars H.E.R. and Liza Soberano, revealed a film deeply rooted in friendship, memory, and cultural authenticity – one that’s as personal as it is universal. From the outset, emotion ran high. For Crawford and Mercado, the project represents not just…
Hunt. Or be hunted. The first trailer for Apex has arrived, teasing a sleek, nerve-shredding survival thriller led by Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton. Set against the vast, unforgiving terrain of the Australian wilderness, the film promises a brutal game of cat and mouse where nature is only half the threat. Theron stars as Sasha,…
There’s something quietly dispiriting about the idea that 13 Going on 30 is being remade for Netflix. Not because remakes are inherently bad, or because nostalgia should be untouchable, but because this particular film represents a kind of movie, and a kind of industry, that we’ve already lost. And instead of rebuilding it, we’re strip-mining…
There’s a version of The Pirate King that sounds almost too eccentric to work: a PTSD-stricken veteran, a custody battle, and a pirate re-enactment troupe. And yet, in the hands of director Josh Plasse, this unlikely blend becomes something deeply human, disarmingly funny, and quietly powerful. At its core, the film follows Todd Gillis (Rob…
There’s something quietly magical about stories that bring families back together – and that’s exactly the spirit behind The Magic Faraway Tree. Now, that same sense of adventure is leaping off the page and into real life with a brand-new competition that blends cinematic wonder with outdoor thrills. Based on the beloved children’s classic by…
