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.

Origin (out Apr 4) explores caste systems around the world. Director Ava DuVernay takes an interesting approach. Rather than adapt a famed non-fiction book into a movie, it’s the story of the author’s journey in writing the book in the first place. The flashback scenes are often clunky and over-written, but the current day narrative and conversations are fascinating. Grade: B+.
