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.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (out Nov 15) is a slooooow paced film that sets up future plot points in the franchise but doesn't create any immediate tension or meaningful drama. Jude Law is semi-intriguing as Albus Dumbledore and the visual effects are top-notch but I'm struggling to think of other positives. Grade: C+.
