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 Meddler (out May 19) is the tale of a widowed mother (Susan Sarandon) who, with nothing else to do, starts interfering in the life of her middle-aged daughter (Rose Byrne). The third act is a little messy but Sarandon's irritating/heartfelt performance makes the film more than worthwhile. Grade: B+.
