Breakfast on Pluto 2005, R)
One of my favourite films of the year. Murphy deserves an Oscar for his powerful central performance in an inspiring, moving, funny and life-affirming tale of the indomitable spirit of glorious non-comformity. |

A beautiful film. |

The World's Fastest Indian 2005, PG-13)
A truly life-affirming movie with one of Hopkin's greatest performances. |
|
| 4 |
Hard Candy 2005, R)
One of the most harrowing films I've ever seen. The script is brilliantly structured and very intelligent. And the performances are superb, especially from Ellen Page. This movie should make her a star. |

Thank You For Smoking 2005, R)
A witty and intelligent black comedy. it is always entertaining and often hilarious. |

| 6 |
Last Train to Freo 2006, Unrated)
A powerful five-handed psychodrama told in real time on one set. As you would imagine, the plot is rather artificially packed with secrets to be revealed, but view it as a cathartic exercise rather than a realistic drama and this hardly matters. One of the best of a very good year in Australian cinema. |
