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.

Happiest Season (out Nov 26) is a warm-hearted romantic comedy about a same-sex couple who visit one of their families for Christmas... except no one knows they’re a same-sex couple. It overcooks a few comedic elements but the wonderful performance of Kristen Stewart makes this a winner. She serves as the film's dramatic backbone and it allows those around her to overplay their eccentricities in search of laughs. Grade: B+.
