    Best TV shows and movies streaming in Australia this month - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    John Steinbeck’s long and sprawling novel East of Eden has been brought to the screen before, with James Dean starring in a classic 1955 film directed by the legendary Elia Kazan. Kazan’s granddaughter, Zoe Kazan created and wrote Netflix’s new seven-part series, which has a more accommodating run time and puts the famously complex character of Cathy Ames (Florence Pugh) at its centre. Set in California’s Salinas Valley, this multigenerational narrative weaves together the stories of the Trask f

    Last Seen review – this gripping Apple TV thriller is one of the standout shows of the year - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last Seen is a classic, twisty thriller with a killer premise: a grieving father, whose young daughter went missing years ago and is now presumed dead, one day receives a phone call that he is convinced is from her. Hats off to director Christian Schwochow for delivering such a muscular, propulsive experience: I felt deeply invested from the start and by the third episode I was totally hooked. Getting between me and the screen would have been like trying to take a steak away from a dog. Ian (Pat

    This amusingly titled documentary explores the motivations behind Australian academic and competitive B-girl Rachael Gunn and her infamous breakdance at the Paris Olympics, when she bounced like a kangaroo and writhed like a worm on hot concrete. She scored a big fat zero from judges but cemented herself in the annals of weird Olympics history. Featuring extensive reflections from Gunn herself, the film also examines the internet pile-on that ensued when this self-professed “dorky white woman” w

    The Airport Chaplain review – thoroughly bingeable TV about ‘Batman in a hi-vis vest’ - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Hugo Weaving plays the eponymous airport chaplain in this pacy and moreish eight-part series, which was co-created by Elise McCredie and Jude Troy, and directed with jittery flair by Bonnie Moir and Tig Terera. In case you were wondering, yes, that profession really does exist. I doubt the lives of real airport chaplains are anywhere near as frenetic as those of this show’s protagonist, Tobias Wallace (Weaving), whose existence is a testament to that old saying: “Not all heroes wear capes.” Some

    ‘We’re barely above porn’: why would a film-maker choose to make a deliberately bad ‘mockbuster’? - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Directors don’t tend to appreciate having their films eviscerated by critics. And us critics, well practised in lobbing proverbial grenades from the safety of our pretentiously book-lined, Cahiers du Cinéma-strewn offices, don’t tend to look an artist in the eyes and tell them that their work sucks. This is, however, exactly what I do to the Australian film-maker Anthony Frith. I’ve even prepared a zinger for the occasion. “Your film is a lemon that’s been eaten by a turkey then dumped into a va
