Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Bel Ami (out May 24) is set in 19th Century Paris and stars Robert Pattison as a young journalist who uses his womanising charm to climb the social ladder and become a man of wealth and influence. It's an interesting premise but I found it a struggle to keep up with the changing mindset of each character. Grade: C+.
