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.

J. Edgar (out now) covers a lot of ground. It provides an interesting look into the history of the FBI, it examines the fine line between heroes and villains, and it explores the deep insecurities of the title character. Leonardo DiCaprio is terrific and I tip my hat to the talented make-up artists who allow this story to be told over more than half a century. Grade: A-.
