Slim & I, one of the rare Australian features to sneak back into cinemas post-quarantine, delivers the history of Dusty Slim with a little cunning twist.
Australia Day is a Crash-style drama that contrasts 3 different minorities facing persecution and racism on the backdrop of Australia Day.
Kill Me Three Times is a film which is the right step forward for Australian cinema, done in the worst way possible. For the past decade, Australia has lacked films that have managed to cross international borders and bring new talent to life, which is a process which used to happen back in the day, from George Miller to Phillip Noyce. The only significant films of the past 10 years to really make any impact are David Michôd’s Animal Kingdom, which reminded audiences and filmmakers of the acting talents of Ben Mendelsohn and Jacki Weaver, who have become international stars.
As a rule, I recommend any movie that Simon Pegg is in…except for Run, Fatboy, Run. That movie was abysmal, but this movie looks exceptional.
