Movie reviews of Richard Alaba

When taken in the right dose, it is both uplifting and entertaining. Review

Balances period drama, feminist history, romance, and a portrait of creative genius... Review

Reminds us how ugly civilisation can be. Review

An engaging and memorable film. Review

Does the film’s ending justify the effort? Disappointingly, no. Review

This dark comedic drama is engaging and entertaining. Review

Good-natured and big-hearted gags are entertaining... Review

Sheds a warm light on an artist whose work has left a lasting impact on the creation of a more inclusive society. Review

Great acting and filming complements a script that finds uncontrived humour in everyday places. Review

Nobody is arguing that this is a great film, but it is not a disaster. Review

Stylishly filmed and well-acted by a stellar ensemble... Review

The real flaw is the glaringly obvious contrast between the couple... Review

Flatliners is about thrills not intelligent discourse. In the end, the film gives us neither. Review

If you enjoy watching paint dry this is your film. Review

Reading this film as history gets in the way of enjoying it as visual spectacle and engaging narrative. Review

Viewers unconnected with golf may struggle to stay awake with this one. Review

While the individual aural and visual elements have great beauty, without a narrative purpose they are lovely to admire but all too easy to forget. Review

Both an entertaining and an insightful portrait of an unfinished war. Review

As good as historical dramas get. Review

The originality, absurdism, and audacity of this film are breathtaking. Review

A well-paced story free of distracting sub-plots and supported by a high calibre ensemble. Review

A gripping thriller that will generate discussion and challenge you... Review

A genre-defying, coming of age, drama-rich love story. Review

Treads in the same space as other Aussie inter-racial films and it could have done more with the opportunity. Review
