Tom Cruise’s outlandish satire Digger is groundbreaking — and a bore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tom Cruise and Riz Ahmed: Acting up a storm. Photo / Supplied Digger, directed by Alejandro G Iñárritu, is in cinemas now. When Alejandro González Iñárritu directed Leonardo DiCaprio to an acting Oscar in The Revenant, he memorably had Leo’s character crawl inside a horse corpse to keep warm. In this Iñárritu movie, it’s Tom Cruise’s turn to wrap himself in a grim carcass – that of Digger Rockwell, Texan oil tycoon, and the most powerful man in the world. Prosthetically transformed into a paunch
Big Girls Don’t Cry: Behind NZ’s next great coming-of-age film (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a time when, if you went to see a movie at Matakana Cinemas, a teenage Paloma Schneideman would be selling tickets, dishing out ice-creams and cleaning up afterwards. Nearly 20 years on, she’s been back there for work – introducing festival and advance screenings of her acclaimed directing and writing debut feature, Big Girls Don’t Cry, a film in which many of the movie’s locations are a 10-minute drive away. Working at the cinema not long after it opened in the coastal area near Warkw
The new film about rise of Vladimir Putin asks: how the hell did that happen? (opens the original)

Jude Law as Vladimir Putin. Director Olivier Assayas says he could have used a lookalike, but trusted Law's talent to create a believable Putin. Photo / Carole Bethuel Prolific French director Olivier Assayas has not lacked for variety in an eclectic, genre-defying career. Some of the easier dots to connect in his oeuvre are the actors who have featured repeatedly – like Juliette Binoche (in Summer Hours, Clouds of Sils Maria, and Non-Fiction), Kristen Stewart (Sils Maria, Personal Shopper) and
You can’t be 23 again: Brit musician Joe Jackson on being better at everything - except being new and trendy (opens the original)

Into the night: Joe Jackson says he’s a better pianist than he was when he started out. Photo / Getty Images When Joe Jackson plays here in the new year, it will be the English singer-songwriter’s third time in New Zealand in a 50-year career. He first came in 1983, in the wake of his early albums with hits that swung from the jagged New Wave of Is She Really Going Out with Him? and It’s Different for Girls, to the slick 1980s piano-driven pop of Steppin’ Out from his million-selling Night and D
Brad Pitt’s dog tale: Behind the scenes of the star’s NZ-made survival thriller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
David Ayer last directed Brad Pitt in Fury, the 2014 World War II movie in which the actor was the US commander of a Sherman tank rumbling its way into the hell of Nazi Germany’s last days. It was among Pitt’s grittiest performances, and for Ayer, it was something of a departure from the LA crime thrillers he had become a specialist in. His second film with the star, who, in last year’s F1, had the biggest box office of this career, involves fewer moving parts and no panzer divisions. Heart of t
