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.

Juniper (out Aug 4) is a New Zealand film that fits nicely into the genre I call “two people reluctantly coming together and unexpectedly helping each other out.” A rugby-loving teenager is forced to bond with his alcoholic, insult-loving grandmother. Charlotte Rampling is terrific as is newcomer George Ferrier. Grade: B+.
