The Queen (2006) |
As always, Mirren is superb as a woman who believes her motivations are beyond reproach, as Queen and that protocol justifies everything. - Stuff.co.nz

Spencer (2021) |
It's a film I didn't expect to be impressed by; instead, It has haunted me with its portrayal of a woman increasingly isolated by her emotional and mental distress. - Stuff.co.nz

The Nest (2020) |
Director Sean Durkin previously made Martha Marcy May Marlene, and he once again finds the same sense of cinematic unease that made that film so brilliantly unnerving. - Stuff.co.nz

The Great Gatsby (2013) |
This divisive adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel is at the very least delicious to look at, with the infamous parties that drive the novel depicted in all their extravagance and glory by Australian auteur Baz Luhrmann. - Stuff.co.nz

Britney Ever After (2017) |
Britney Ever After is supposed to be a pro-Britney feminist film, but it feels like a cheap cash-in. An incredibly inaccurate cash in, with a timeline that's all over the place and many obvious mistakes during iconic Britney moments. - Stuff.co.nz

My Generation (2017) |
Not terribly in-depth, My Generation is more about nostalgia for the '60s, rather than the detail... Still, it's well put together and an easy watch. - Stuff.co.nz

Flowers in the Attic (2014) |
While Graham pulls out every trick in the book, Burstyn achieves more with an eyebrow or pursed lips. Combined, they're a brilliant foil to the innocence of the children. - Stuff.co.nz

Perfect High (2015) |
Ok, so there are a few melodramatic steps in between that may make the more mature viewer smirk, but it kept the two teens I trialled this Lifetime movie on interested to the very end, and they certainly took the right message away from it. - Stuff.co.nz
