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.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (out Oct 30) is part drama, part musical and centred on two men in an Argentinean prison who connect through the power of storytelling. Writer-director Bill Condon struggles with the material. We rush between scenes and it's hard to believe the transformation of these two characters. Tonatiuh is the only shining light with his charismatic performance. Grade: C.
