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.

The Gift (out Aug 27) is about a middle aged couple who move to a new city and find themselves smothered by an old high school friend who wants to reconnect. With a great location (a house with a lot of glass windows) and a limited use of music, this is an effective thriller that keeps you guessing about its characters. Grade: B+.
