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 Good Fortune (2025) 78% 2.5/5 EDIT “ It veers awfully close to being irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. But the likeability of Reeves and Rogen, with Sandra Oh and Keke Palmer, mostly powers it through a couple of tone-deaf patches.” – The Post NZ Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Pike River (2025) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “Pike River is a damn near-perfect film. It succeeds thunderously well at bringing to life the story it sets out to tell. And it treats the people and the communities of the coast with palpable aroha and respect.” – The Post NZ Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “This is a sprawling, nakedly operatic, slightly camp and completely singular film. ” – The Post NZ Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's an ambitious film, that tries to do and say a lot. But the performances hold it together, and the music gets its due. Which matters.” – The Post NZ Jan 2, 2026 Full Review A Little Something Extra (2024) 4/5 EDIT “A Little Something Extra is predictable, saccharine, manipulative and contrived. But it is also a genuinely funny and occasionally quite moving wee film, with its heart in the right place.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Roofman is a good natured romp of a film. The performers are mostly superb, the writing is engaging and funny, and everything looks and sounds great.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review Went Up the Hill (2024) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “It's a very fine line between a film being artful and enigmatic, and an impenetrable load of unintentionally hilarious wallop.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 4/5 EDIT “There's a palpable heart and soul here, under the layers of effects and wizardry.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review HIM (2025) 31% 1.5/5 EDIT “Him is a procession of over art-directed sequences in search of a story.” – The Post NZ Jan 1, 2026 Full Review
