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.

The Words (out Oct 11) is a curious film in that it's about a writer who has written a book about a writer who has stolen a book. Jeremy Irons is great and it's nice to see Bradley Cooper in a non-comedic role but the preachy, hard-to-believe screenplay stops this film from becoming something more memorable. Grade: B-.
