    [FILM: Review] Restless

    Restless
    Opens December 8
    ***
    Gus Van Sant’s latest film won’t set the world on fire like Elephant, Good Will Hunting or My Private Idaho did, but it’s a thoroughly charming and unexpectedly moving rework of several very familiar styles.
    The closest comparison is Hal Ashby’s odd-couple romance Harold and Maude, about a precocious teen and a vivacious old [...]

    [FILM: Review] The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1

    The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
    Released November 17
    *
    Exclusivity is a hallmark of the Twilight film franchise. If you’re not fully versed in the characters and mythology, then Breaking Dawn Part 1 raises a lot more questions than it answers. For me, the experience of watching the film feels like coming into a TV soap [...]

There’s no denying Tarsem’s capacity for images of unparalleled beauty and terror; they’re the kind of images that can only come out [...]

    [FILM: Review] We Need To Talk About Kevin

    We Need To Talk About Kevin
    Released November 17
    ****
    Lionel Shriver’s lengthy and grim novel was a bestseller and a book club favourite, partly thanks to its subject matter, which spoke directly to the primal fears arising from parenthood (particularly first-time), and highlighted a lurking shame behind modern expectations of self-fulfillment. The film version is likely to [...]

    [FILM: Review] The Orator

    The Orator
    Released November 17
    ****
    The Orator has on its side the magic and mystery of a society and culture totally unfamiliar to most Australians: rural Samoa, steeped in a heady mix of tribal lore, ritual, superstition, and Christianity – and shrouded in tropical jungle and mist. In this foreign land, director Tusi Tamasese pitches his tent [...]
