SHEEPDOG (2025) Peter Gray In a cinematic landscape that often equates importance with volume, Sheepdog speaks softly - and listens closely.

Dust Bunny (2025) Peter Gray It’s a film that trusts atmosphere over exposition and feeling over logic — and in doing so, delivers something haunting, playful, and quietly moving.

September 5 (2024) Peter Gray It’s electrically edited and it embraces a claustrophobic feel that adds a pressure cooker-like temperament [...] it just doesn’t rise above a point of view, which pauses its impact as a story being told at a particularly opportune time.

Magpie (2024) Peter Gray A deceptively fun, pulpy effort that serves up parley and pleasure in equal measure.

Borderlands (2024) Peter Gray Marred by borrowed ideas and uninspired execution, Borderlands squanders any and all of its potential.

The Family Plan (2023) Peter Gray If it wasn’t for the odd bout of surprising violence and sexual suggestion I would say this is at least harmful fun for the whole family, but there’s too many hopeful targets being aimed at that it ultimately fails at hitting its mark.

Paint (2023) Peter Gray The one thing I think many people will be surprised about regarding Paint is it has quite a strong sexual undercurrent to it.
Posted Apr 05, 2023  Edit critic review
Significant Other (2022) Peter Gray Though Significant Other is quite absurd when you look at it, the utter unpredictability in its pacing means it’s consistently engaging and revelling in how ahead of its audience it is.

Black Site (2022) Peter Gray Black Site ends up a black hole of stereotypical nonsense that cant even muster emotional investment or intentionally humorous additives to keep its audience on hand

A Taste of Hunger (2021) Peter Gray Theres a slew of good films peppered throughout Christoffer Boes A Taste of Hunger. Sadly though, each respective narrative doesnt culminate in a story thats cohesive enough to maintain interest.

Cha Cha Real Smooth (2022) Peter Gray In the same vein as a storyteller like Judd Apatow, Cooper Raiff injects nuances and a bittersweetness into his proceedings, resulting in a warm hug of a film that knows to play nice without sacrificing the truth.

Silent Night (2021) Peter Gray Silent Night, though working with a somewhat shaky tone, consistently entertains and intrigues with its premise.

The Voyeurs (2021) Peter Gray Some fine tuning and a little less let's-bash-our-audiences-over-the-head-with-a-cautionary-tale-mentality could've truly helped these voyeurs see the light
Posted Oct 12, 2021  Edit critic review
No Man of God (2021) Peter Gray A film that's more minimalistic and still than indulgingly sensational, No Man of God strips away the morbid fascination and closes the book on [Ted Bundy's] crimes.
Posted Oct 12, 2021  Edit critic review
Jolt (2021) Peter Gray What should've been a balls-to-the-wall midnight movie riot is ultimately little more than an occasionally over-the-top effort that fails to raise its own bar throughout
Posted Oct 12, 2021  Edit critic review
Till Death (2021) Peter Gray Appropriately thrilling and satisfyingly violent, Till Death is an enjoyable effort that makes the most of its simplicities.
Posted Jul 02, 2021  Edit critic review
Censor (2021) Peter Gray Furthers the bold female voice within the horror genre, celebrating the cult of the VHS splatter wave in the process.
Posted Jun 22, 2021  Edit critic review
Infinite (2021) Peter Gray A lazy, could've-been-inventive affair that lacks any charm to compensate for the by-the-numbers material.
Posted Jun 11, 2021  Edit critic review
New Order (2020) Peter Gray Expertly acted and impossibly tense, the film's narrative simplicity only further assists [Michael] Franco in raising the issues he's so clearly passionate about.
Posted May 30, 2021  Edit critic review
The Virtuoso (2021) Peter Gray Will ultimately end up as little more than a botched job on all the resumes involved
Posted Apr 29, 2021  Edit critic review
Jakob's Wife (2021) Peter Gray Should easily satisfy the gore-hounds and camp comedy enthusiasts in equal measure.
Posted Apr 21, 2021  Edit critic review
Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021) Peter Gray Barb & Star are wholly realised characters that may have the sense of caricature, but are so intricately embodied that their personalities somehow ground the absolutely absurd comedy that unspools around them.
Posted Feb 13, 2021  Edit critic review
Our Friend (2019) Peter Gray A suitably moving, though standard drama detailing the hardships of cancer and the unconditionality of friendship in its purest form.
Posted Jan 21, 2021  Edit critic review
Fatale (2020) Peter Gray What should've been extra is just a basic thriller, albeit with a little convolution, that only succeeds off the commitment from [Hilary] Swank.
Posted Jan 04, 2021  Edit critic review
The Prom (2020) Peter Gray Is essentially Glee: The Movie, with unsubtle performances, impressive musical numbers and a message of acceptance and inclusivity that's just a little too aggressive.
Posted Dec 05, 2020  Edit critic review
Uncle Frank (2020) Peter Gray [Paul] Bettany is simply luminous as Frank, creating a fully realised character out of what could've been an archetypal profile, driving a very effective heartfelt beat underneath a familiar cavity.
Posted Nov 24, 2020  Edit critic review
Run (2020) Peter Gray A tale of survival intertwined with a story of abuse wrapped in the guise of a horror movie, Run executes its Misery-adjacent narrative with precision, occasional dark humour, and genuine terror.
Posted Nov 20, 2020  Edit critic review
Roald Dahl's The Witches (2020) Peter Gray When mirrored to the 1990 original, it fails. As its own fantasy film, it's just not that exciting, not to mention overly explained to the point of annoyance.
Posted Oct 25, 2020  Edit critic review
On the Rocks (2020) Peter Gray It's an easy watch, surprisingly uneventful and never laugh-out-loud funny, but it has its share of witty observations and the duo of Bill Murray and Rashida Jones really makes it more worthwhile than what the story allows.
Posted Oct 07, 2020  Edit critic review
Possessor: Uncut (2020) Peter Gray A unique and detailed project from a filmmaker who is quickly announcing himself as the next great creative mind
Posted Oct 02, 2020  Edit critic review
Antebellum (2020) Peter Gray Wants to act as if it has something deep to say about the state of racial issues in the world today but handles it in completely the wrong way.
Posted Sep 05, 2020  Edit critic review
Tesla (2020) Peter Gray It's difficult to dismiss entirely due to its oddball ingredients, but someone like Tesla deserves a film that's less gloss and more grit.
Posted Aug 20, 2020  Edit critic review
Relic (2020) Peter Gray It pushes its emotional agenda as much as it intends to operate as a horror movie, further advancing Australia's ability to create genuinely distressing genre features
Posted Jul 08, 2020  Edit critic review
Force of Nature (2020) Peter Gray Not worth its weight in issues, ultimately playing out as the most generic, uninspired thriller that fails to make good on any of its bonkers ingredients.
Posted Jun 30, 2020  Edit critic review
The King of Staten Island (2020) Peter Gray Those expecting a comedy on par with [Judd] Apatow's previous, celebrated work ... will be disappointed, with the film surviving more so as a showcase for [Pete] Davidson's capabilities as a performer.
Posted Jun 12, 2020  Edit critic review
Becky (2020) Peter Gray Watching a young girl protect her own environment with gusto from a collective of neo-nazis in the most R-rated of ways certainly has its genre-specific charm.
Posted Jun 04, 2020  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Endings, Beginnings (2019) Peter Gray A well-intentioned drama that can't commit to the sentiment it wants to convey.
Posted Apr 26, 2020  Edit critic review
1/5
Dead by Dawn (2020) Peter Gray Can't overcome a less-than-inspired script and a series of performances that siphon out any of the film's tension.
Posted Apr 16, 2020  Edit critic review
5/5
Banana Split (2018) Peter Gray Thanks to a genuine script and an honest mentality... its view on relationships in all their forms should resonate with audiences, especially young women.
