The new film, which is based on Watson's book about her journey, stars Teagan Croft as the 16-year-old soon-to-be record-holder as she prepares to set sail.

Anna Paquin and Josh Lawson play her parents, while versatile Kiwi actor Cliff Curtis is her sailing mentor.

The Watsons are hounded by a reporter called Atherton (played by Todd Lasance) - who we can only hope is so named as a nod to William Atherton, who played the hateful reporter in Die Hard - who constantly talks about how irresponsible it is for the parents to let their daughter embark on such a dangerous feat.

Some of the CGI used for animals spotted on the open water is a little under par, but that can easily be forgiven when watching such an inspirational story.

True Spirit is a legitimate family movie - everyone in the family will enjoy it. The acting is good, the cinematography is lovely and the story can't be beaten.

It's impossible not to be swept up in the moment when Watson is sailing for home - the story will warm even the frostiest of hearts.

As the film ends we're rewarded with real footage of Watson's return to Sydney, and it's somehow even more emotional than it was the first time around.

Finally, a beautiful and uplifting song from Tones and I - I Made It - rings in the credits.

Must watch.

A movie from the writer of the unquestionably hilarious Death at a Funeral, starring Australia's own Toni Collette and the inimitable Kathleen Turner should, given the quality of the cast and crew, be good.

But, sadly, that is not the case with new comedy The Estate.

The film follows two sisters (played by Collette and Mom actress Anna Faris) who, upon hearing that their wealthy, childless aunt Hilda (Turner) is riddled with cancer and soon to depart, decide they're going to get in her good books and earn their way to an inheritance.

But they're not the only ones in the family with that idea, and soon it's a ridiculous game of one-upmanship between the cousins.

There are a couple of chuckles to be had here and there, but overall the film is just cringe-worthy and awkward and relies too much on sex jokes that don't land.

Also stars David Duchovny, Rosemarie DeWitt and Ron Livingston.

You might have seen snippets of Cunk on Earth floating around social media.

The British mockumentary series is best viewed in tiny snippets, but somehow, contradictorily, it's still kind of addictive to watch in one go.

British comedian Diane Morgan plays Philomena Cunk, a very ignorant documentarian taking viewers through the history of planet Earth.

The show's main conceit is the fact that Morgan, in character as Cunk, interviews real experts on everything from Egyptian heirolgyphs to the philosophy of religion, but asks them the dumbest questions imaginable.

The experts do their best to treat each question as though it was asked by a curious child, never just dismissing her idiocy.

It's an interesting approach, and perhaps if you're not well-versed on these parts of history, there's something to be learned?
