About

Australia's leading film critic reviews (almost) every Australian feature film from 1990 to 2020.

Australia's best-loved film critic David Stratton reviews (almost) every feature film from the past three decades in the ultimate guide to modern Australian cinema.

From The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert to The Dry, from The Big Steal to The Drover's Wife, he tells us why they're worth watching, and reveals fascinating behind-the-scenes details. There is something for everyone: road movies and coming-of-age movies; comedies and love stories; rural noir and gritty urban movies; flourishing First Nations cinema; horror, zombies and science fiction; movies for families and for children; international co-productions, and much more. He's seen them all, and he knows every director, producer and actor.

Australia at the Movies is the indispensable companion for every cinema lover: it's where you'll find your next favourite movie.

'I greatly enjoy his sheer delight in cinema, which communicates itself effortlessly in every review.' Bruce Beresford

'He has introduced us to films and filmmakers ... from the grandest to the tiniest low-budget debut with intelligence, humour and passion.' Gillian Armstrong

'Stratton's sense of cinema and storytelling is bar none, as far as I'm concerned.' Warwick Thornton

'Thank you for introducing us to great movies and great directors.' Bryan Brown
