Clarisse Loughrey’s Show of the Week column spotlights a new show to watch or skip. This week: The Last of Us returns for season two. The hard lesson of our era is how unnervingly easy it is to find normalcy while the world outside our window burns.

One of the best films of last year arrives on Stan today. Liam Maguren dives deep into the morbid magic of Memoir of a Snail. Adam Elliot is to Australia what Aardman is to England. A national treasure? Of course. An Academy Award winner? Also true (for 2003 short Harvie Krumpet). But most importantly, an animation auteur whose style has become instantly recognisable worldwide.

Reading Cinemas Australia has announced a record month in December 2024 – pointing to cinema’s good health. We’ve heard mutterings about the death of cinema since the advent of TV (if not before). Anyone can see recent years have been one hell of a challenge—between competition from streaming, cost of living increases, and (oh yeah) a global pandemic.

It’s been a good year for hour-long movies with YouTube hits Rap World and Milk & Serial. Liam Maguren has found another on Prime Video: the slender and sweet Look Back. Look Back The difference between a short film and a feature film, generally speaking, is the 45-minute mark. Anything below is typically considered a short film, so a 40-minute film, you could say, is a “long” short film while a two-minute film would be a “short” short film.

A family’s dream holiday turns nightmarish in dark thriller (and sometimes black comedy) Speak No Evil. Viewers will be suffering some level of discomfort for the entire running time, reports Daniel Rutledge. Getting this remake in cinemas just two years after the original played in cinemas at film festivals is a bit odd. Maybe before this year ends, some 2024 pop artist will release a cover of As It Was by Harry Styles and it’ll hit number one all over again, too. Whatever.

When their father’s health worsens, three estranged sisters come together to try to plan for the inevitable in His Three Daughters. Powered by three dynamic performances, Liam Maguren is in praise of this soft, surgical, sensational reunion drama.
