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.

Southpaw (out Aug 27) is a compelling drama about a boxer on top of the world... who hits rock bottom... and then must rebound. Jake Gyllenhaal elevates the film with his strong, passionate performance in the leading role. He's a flawed character but it's hard not to cheer for him. Grade: A-.
