Slant (2022)
10/10
Original Aussie Film
4 October 2023
Saw this at the London Australian Film Festival. Such a good story, acting and style. The writing and directing was so original.

Seeing Sigrid Thornton on the big screen was a treat. She should be working in Hollywood! She played the role so well. Hopefully she will win awards for this role.

All the leads are excellent and their is not one bad performance. For a low budget film the casting and acting is brilliant.

You are in for a rollercoaster of a ride. The story takes on many turns and twists you will not expect.

Can not recommend enough seeing this film in a cinema on a big screen. Do yourself a favour and support Aussie cinema.

Beautiful film from my youth
12 August 2022
I remember watching this as a kid in Australia. It has always stayed with me. Fantastic performances, great story and early Bee Gees music. I think I will never get bored watching this film.

Loved it
12 February 2022
Great film. Had a feel of an 80s rom com. I'm now a big fan of Jennie Slate. Was just perfect in every way with the story, actors and locations. Highly recommended this.

This film gave me a migraine
25 June 2021
What a waste of time. Awful acting, annoying plot, and so stupid. Avoid at all costs!

I feel uncomfortable
15 April 2021
Not sure what to write. I wanted to like this show but it's so unfunny and awkward. I get what they were going for.. Maybe would of worked better with the lead being played by an actual male teenager.

It's fun and light

Really enjoyed first few episodes. Moves fast, good one liners and easy to watch. Decent sitcom and I recommend giving it a go

Why?
4 January 2021
Miranda is now a classic BBC comedy. It was quirky, basic but fun and sweet. This American remake is like a dull thud. Mayim the lead feels quite forced in her quirkiness but does try. Great supporting cast but it just doesn't work. Please cancel and put us out of our misery watching this!

The Flight Attendant (2020–2022)
5/10
Not bad except for one thing..
11 December 2020
I want to like this. Decent story, great locations but one thing ruins it for me.. Kaley Cuoco! My god she overacts every scene. She is like a a cartoon character compared to every other character she interacts with. I mean she causes me stress just watching her. This would of been fantastic with an accomplished actress. Not that she can't act but she acts not believable. The other actors are great in it though.

Snore fest
18 October 2020
I've had enough of the walking dead, it's dead.. Time to move on. I'm up to the third episode and my god it's boring. Some of the kid actors are great but the lead called Iris is awful, not the best actress and definitely the weakest link. Please put all the walking soap opera deads to rest.

A waste of talent
24 July 2020
Such a shame this film was awful. So many good actors but the plot is so stupid and ridiculous. This could of been wonderful. A missed opportunity.

Carol's Second Act (2019–2020)
1/10
Basic
27 September 2019
This sitcom is like going back in time. Canned laughter, corny jokes..and the age jokes offensive. Not good. Would of preferred another season of The Middle. Won't be watching episode 2.

Christina Milian ruins it
6 September 2019
Beautiful locations and decent story but Christina Milian acting is horrible. It would be a decent film without her hamming it up.

Rebel Wilson needs to stop getting work
11 May 2019
This film is the worst. Unfunny pointless remake. Surely Hollywood knows by now Rebel Wilson is box office poison in a leading role. She is so one note as an actress. Please make her stop!

Good idea but lacks oomph
8 March 2019
Loved the idea but just didn't work. Some of the supporting actors were just not up for the task. Needed better direction but I never found it boring!

Great Aussie made film
27 January 2019
I saw this as part of the oz film festival in London. What a lovely film. Well made, great direction, good script and acting was spot on. Made me homesick for Adelaide.

Good intentions but production let it down
18 August 2018
I did like this movie but the acting was slightly corny, production bit amateur. However it did have heart and a message.
