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.

Elio (out Jun 19) is the tale of an orphaned 11-year-old boy who, at his own request, is abducted by aliens and sucked up into outer space. Mature children will tap into the film’s heavier, emotional material. Those younger can still have fun with the vibrant aliens and the four-eyed villain, distinctively voiced by Emmy winner Brad Garrett. Grade: B.
