Featured Movie of the Week -- 1
The Sheep Detectives (2026)
Directed by: Kyle Balda
Length: 115 Minutes
Review first posted on letterboxd. Link in bio
-----------------------------------------------
When I first saw the trailer for The Sheep Detectives, I thought it looked seriously corny. I blew it off like a nothing film and even wondered, what someone with as much talent as Hugh Jackman was doing with his career? But then the reviews started coming through and to say they were extremely positive is a massive understatement.
I can confirm, the hype is real. Man this is just a bloody damn good movie. Well acted, well cast (the sheep casting is phenomenal), well scripted - everything here works really well. Nothing groundbreaking but it's a damn good film. The way the themes circle back around in phases was expertly done. It's crazy this director doesn't have anything other than a lot of Despicable Me/Minions stuff to his name.
Not quite enough to get to 4 stars (though that could change on a rewatch) but I'll highly recommend this to anyone and everyone, even if they're not asking. Really good stuff here, more films like this.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5 / 5
