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.

Hope Gap (out Oct 15) is the story of a husband and wife who separate after 29 years of marriage. It's not covering anything new (last year's Marriage Story had more to offer in terms of complexity and subplots) but it's still a film to be seen for its performances (Annette Bening, Bill Nighy, Josh O'Connor) and the way they deal with grief. Grade: B.
