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.

Learning To Drive (out Oct 8) brings together two unlikely characters in need of each other. Darwan (Ben Kingsley) is an Indian-born American who works two jobs to make ends meet. Wendy (Patricia Clarkson) is a renowned book critic in need of driving lessons. It's a film that feels insignificant. There are glimpses of promise but we never get to know the characters well enough to care for them. Grade: C+.
