Movie reviews of Simon Storey

The kind of moving historical epic that both teaches and enthrals. Review

Succeeds in what it sets out to do as a visceral and taught military thriller. Review

Although it’s not as revelatory or as immediately rousing as last time, there’s unlikely to be a more important film released in 2017. Review

Sequeira’s debut feature is a very enjoyable trip back to the quick rise and renaissance of the Australian Punk scene. Review

Holland manages to bring nuance to a character who everyone forgets is still a cocky, very naive teenager – he has made this role his own. Review

A perfectly honeyed love story with moments that evoke a very sweet nostalgia of that first serious crush we hopefully all had. Review

A genuinely terrible film. Review

It’s unfortunate that there is essentially nothing else to recommend here. Review

Dickinson’s poetry and Davies’ filmmaking are an excellent match... Review

One of the most important and shocking films, documentary or otherwise, to come out of Australia in ages. Review

Big, dramatic, over-acted and totally exaggerated at every turn. Review

A perfectly entertaining ride staring three of the best actors of their generation... Review

Anime at its finest. Review

A rare and important gift to the cinematic world which should be witnessed by as many Australians as possible. Review

Perfectly fine/average/middle-of-the-road/solid... Review

A raw, visceral and above all unforgettable experience... Review

Best enjoyed with grandparents, a cup of tea and a box of tissues. Review

Worth a watch but isn’t the best outcome of this fascinating premise. Review

A fascinating film about a fascinating man. Review

A tastefully sexy and beautifully photographed trip into the highpoint of European civilisation... Review

Retains the same depth, complexity and unadulterated quality as A Separation and The Past... Review

One of the saddest cinema experiences this critic has ever had... Review

Empowerment cinema at its most commercial and easily digestible. Review

Enough to warrant a recommendation. Review
