How to Blow Up a PipelineHow to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022)
Dir. Daniel Goldhaber
Feat. Sasha Lane, Forrest Goodluck, Kristine Froseth
A nail-biter of the first order that vividly depicts the actions of a group of young climate activists who come together for a 'meaningful' act of destruction on a West Texas pipeline. It's propulsive in a way that the best thrillers are but also gives satisfying weight to the defining backstories of the…
MuruMuru (2022)
Dir. Tearepa Kahi
Feat. Cliff Curtis, Jay Ryan, Manu Bennett
A riveting local action-thriller that boldly fictionalizes events surrounding the Nga Tuhoe raids of 2007. Our finest actor Cliff Curtis leads a top ensemble cast, with the remarkable casting of Tame Iti as himself, the chief target of a misguided government conspiracy. It's an angry but clear-headed…

Coming Home in the DarkComing Home in the Dark (2021)
Dir. James Ashcroft
Feat. Miriama McDowell, Erik Thomson, Daniel Gillies
Not for the faint of heart, this Kiwi thriller is confrontingly grim yet takes the psycho-killer genre into thematic territory it rarely bothers to go. Expanded from an Owen Marshall short story, it excels in all departments (especially the four key performances) and director James Ashcroft (in an…
NitramNitram (2021)
Dir. Justin Kurzel
Feat. Caleb Landry Jones, Judy Davis, Essie Davis
An intense yet clear-eyed psychological drama from accomplished director Justin Kurzel (TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG) depicting the events that lead up to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania. An atrocity that darkened Australia's history and prompted an overhaul of the nation's gun control laws,…
PigPig (2021)
Dir. Michael Sarnoski
Feat. Nicolas Cage, Alex Wolff, Adam Arkin
A mesmerising drama with Nicolas Cage (somewhat) changing pace to play a bedraggled truffle hunter living in the remote Oregonian wilderness. When his beloved foraging pig is stolen, he returns to his former home of Portland in search of her. A promising debut from gifted director Michael Sarnoski,…
