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.

Penguin Bloom (out Jan 21) is based on a true story and is about a Sydney family with a pet magpie. It doesn't get much more Aussie than that! Whilst character development is lacking in places, the film still delivers as an inspiring, feel-good tale about overcoming adversity. She only has a small role but, as she often does, Rachel House steals the show. Grade: B.
