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.

Life (out Sep 10) is set in 1955 and follows photographer (Robert Pattinson) as he tries to convince rising Hollywood star James Dean (Dane DeHaan) that he'd be perfect for a Life magazine photo shoot as a means of self-promotion. A few subplots feel under-cooked but the interaction between the two leads makes this an interesting true story. Grade: B+.
