Review: ‘Blanc de Blanc Encore’ at Spiegel Haus Melbourne (2025)

Cabaret and burlesque doesn’t get more entertaining than it does with Blanc de Blanc Encore.

Review: ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ at Princess Theatre, Melbourne (2025)

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s venerable rock opera detailing the life and crucifixion of Jesus Christ has been wowing audiences for more than half a century now, and it’s reassuring to see that this latest iteration of the tale of Christ is just as vital, immediate and engrossing as ever before.

Review: Latency (2024)

2024, 90 mins
M (Mature themes, horror themes, violence and coarse language)

Stars Sasha Luss, Alexis Ren
Directed by James Croke

A great premise and striking visual style elevate what is ultimately a frustrating and not fully-realised horror thriller. Latency is one of those films that starts out brilliantly and hooks you in, but then sadly doesn’t really go anywhere with its premise. Still, there’s a lot to like in Australian writer/director James Croke’s debut feature.
