Alex Lines spoke with Bryan Brown about Palm Beach, his personal connection to the secluded slice of paradise, and what Rachel Ward brought to the film as a director.
Palm Beach lacks a sense of purpose – that despite it brimming with a number of winning personalities, its just a shame that the film they’re in lacks one itself.
Charming guests full of personality and stories capable of filling given run time are exactly the reminder of authentic entertainment this current era of television needs.
Surviving Confession is very much a lively indie taking place in a lifelessly cramped setting, while bluntly speaking some commendable verities of being human.
Even if Douglas doesn’t match its predecessor, the material is strong enough that it could still wind up being the second greatest stand-up film of all time.
