It may be the world's first fully oil painted film, but is Loving Vincent any good? We sent Dr. Maria to find out.

Maria's not too enamoured with the new Dave Bautista political action/thriller, the New York suburb blazing Bushwick. While the team get waylaid by talk of baristas (typical), is it still perhaps a decent lazy weekend watch?

A Spanish adaptation of an originally Australian foray into suburban love and kink, Kiki, Love to Love doesn't shy away from philia of all forms. While sexual taboos are explored, the amount of actual 'acts' on screen (i.e. not many) means the film stops short of the potential Cinemax gutter. Lovely to look at with a Rialto-level (read: tame) exploration of sexual deviancy - it is worth a hoon, Maria?

Clayton seems to be having a good run of Madman releases that also shone bright at the 2017 New Zealand International Film Festival. This week it's dark British drama, Lady Macbeth. No, not the Scottish Billy S. wife, but instead a Yorkshire interpretation of a character from Russian literature who (similar to Billy's femme) becomes a sinister product of her oppressive, austere environment.

In what is possibly the best Madman DVD Review of all time, Maria reviews Mary & the Witch's Flower psychically. 'Psychically' as in, erm... she hasn't seen it. But instead of skiving off with an excuse, Dr. Walls is still here for the bFM listener. Such is her dedication to the station, folks. You're welcome.

In nominative determinism news: watching the film chosen to close out the NZIFF 2017, Clayton certainly seemed to have a Good Time. Scrappy guerrilla filmmaker brothers Josh and Ben Safdie trace a desperate Constantine (Robert Pattinson) through a hypercolour NYC after a bungled heist. Relentless, an exercise in maintaining tension, and with a soundtrack by Oneohtrix Point Never, Clayton (and now Mike + Rob, it seems) is sold.

Rob Bryden and Steve Coogan are back for the third instalment of Michael Winterbottom's Trip series: The Trip to Spain. Starring more Michelin starred restaurants, more stunning scenery, probably too much Chianti, and a painful amount of impressions... Maria, does the recipe still work?

Maria introduces us to That's Not Me, an Australian independent comedy film directed by Gregory Erdstein. Polly (Alice Foulcher) dreams of making it as an actor - but her identical twin sister Amy catapults to international stardom. Mistaken for her famous sister at every turn, Polly scrambles to catch up – juggling woeful auditions, painfully awkward dates and her underwhelming job at the local cinema. Maybe there’s no such thing as ‘making it’ after all...
