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.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (out Dec 19) is a worthy climax to the series. It's well made (sound, music, visuals) and continues its focus on the most intriguing element - the interplay between Rey and Kylo Ren. Other subplots are rushed (they kind of wash over you given the frenetic pace) but criticisms mean little with a film like this. It's gonna make a LOT of money. Grade: B+.
