Shelter (2026) 65% 2/5 EDIT “Although we've seen Jason Statham in variations of this film about 20 times over, he can play this role with a kind of zen-like simplicity now.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “When the film catches fire - in the scenes between Arnett and Dern, and also in a couple of beautifully calibrated moments between Arnett and Ciarán Hinds, as Alex's taciturn dad - it turns into something quite special.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Choral is a handful of good scenes, a couple of decent performances and a few great songs, in search of a coherent film. But mostly, not finding one.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 98% 5/5 EDIT “This is a wonderful film. The story unfurls in unexpected and raucously comical ways, even though the film is deeply moving and occasionally quite terrifying. ⁠ ⁠” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 5/5 EDIT “The Secret Agent is stuffed full of spellbinding performances and some exceptional plotting and writing, all shot and soundtracked like some lost classic that should be sitting on every cinephile's shelf next to The Conversation and Point Blank.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Marty Supreme is just a hell of a ride. It is breathlessly paced, sometimes frightening, blackly hilarious and probably destined to be remembered as an early classic of the 21st century.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Grow (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Grow is loads of fun. It gets across the screen at a good pace, the writing is sharp enough to blur most of the contrivances, and the cast are all top-shelf comedic talent.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Hamnet is a beautifully made and performed piece of work. Yes, it is contrived and manipulative, but it is still a film that needs to be watched and committed to.” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4/5 EDIT “DaCosta and her crew, working from a script that packs in ideas and set pieces that Garland has maybe been dreaming of for years, have delivered a lean, cruel, blatantly satiric and darkly funny movie. ” – The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “Song Sung Blue is a well-made and affectionate film with its heart in the right place. It sticks closely enough to the genuine chronology to occasionally feel a bit lumpy and haphazard. Which I like.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 79% 1.5/5 EDIT “The script feels like a response to a ChatGPT prompt, the animation is mostly lifeless and the subtle, clever and affectionate in-jokes and gags that once made SpongeBob so indelibly special and beloved are missing in action.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 95% 5/5 EDIT “This is a superb film, warm, funny as hell when it needs to be, and heartbreaking when it has earned the right. But most of all, Sentimental Value is insightful and understanding about love, family and loss. ” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Marching Band (2024) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Courcol packs a lot of story into his 104 minutes, but My Brothers Band always feels like it is unfolding at exactly the right pace.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 73% 2/5 EDIT “Even though it ticks a few boxes and Seyfried is trying her damndest, this is too long-winded and flabbily assembled to ever join the classics of the genre.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 69% 2.5/5 EDIT “For the first 45 minutes, this gets across the screen like a film I'd be stopping old friends in the street to recommend. And then, bafflingly, all that promise just evaporates and drifts away in a fug of stultification.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Beat the Lotto (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Whitaker, thankfully, is far more interested in the personalities of the men involved and the society in which they lived, than he is in the mechanics and the equations of the scheme. And there are some big and engaging characters here.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% 2/5 EDIT “ Although it is intended to be a portrait of a young woman rising to the top of her profession and overcoming every obstacle put in her way, the script also demeans, patronises and undermines Ella at every turn.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 71% 2/5 EDIT “Vanderbilt flounders when he tries to imagine what was happening outside of the courtroom and piles too much of the film's thematic weight on to the shoulders of an actor isn't up to the role.” – The Post NZ Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% 4.5/5 EDIT “Lawrence turns in a performance you can put alongside her roles in Winter's Bone, Silver Linings Playbook and Mother!. ” – The Post NZ Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Every frame of Zootopia 2 is packed with detail and movement, and all of it looks just right.” – The Post NZ Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 1/5 EDIT “There is no magic in this film. It is just a mugging. The writing is lazy, the plot twists are nonsensical, the special effects are shoddy and rushed, and the actors - the old guard anyway - are just going through the contractually obligated motions.” – The Post NZ Apr 1, 2026 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 61% 2.5/5 EDIT “This is an ambitious spectacle, with a top-drawer cast and a budget that could have kept most countries’ film industries afloat for a year. And yet, despite all the bells and whistles, it stumbles and falls flat long before the lights come up.” – The Post NZ Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Happyend (2024) 98% 4/5 EDIT “This is a deft and confident debut from Sora. ” – The Post NZ Apr 1, 2026 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “As a feat of world-building and mythology expansion, it sets the scene for more films and books to come. But it also functions pretty well as a grisly action thriller and an unlikely buddy comedy.” – The Post NZ Apr 1, 2026 Full Review East of Wall (2025) 95% EDIT “East of Wall is a tough, hard-bitten, engrossing and deeply likeable film. It packs a tremendous amount of insights, laughter and hard-won wisdom into a brief running time. ” – The Post NZ Feb 24, 2026 Full Review
