Girl Asleep
The world is closing in on Greta Driscoll. On the cusp of turning fifteen she can't bear to leave her childhood, it contains all the things that give her comfort in this incomprehensible new world. She floats in a bubble of loserdom with her only friend Elliott, until her parents throw her a surprise 15th birthday party and she's flung into a parallel place; a world that's weirdly erotic, a little bit violent and thoroughly ludicrous - only there can she find herself.

Wow! Such a good movie.
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The first half of the film was wonderful (I'd give it 9 stars)! It was witty, artistic, imaginative, and delt with really world issues. The characters were fresh and complex, and their conflicts and choices were intriguing. However, halfway through it started to loose all of that, except some of the imaginative aspect, but in a style so unlike the rest of the film it's jarring.
This is a beautiful and beautifully made movie. The intricacies and absurdities of 70s life are writ large, with over the top set dressing and outfits. Disco dancing and disco moves abound, as Greta discovers herself in this coming of age tale. It's surreal and enchanting, wafting from real life to dream sequence, you're with it all the way.A new Australian classic, and certainly something different, both for Aussie cinema and for cinema in general.It's been out for weeks here in Melbourne, and my Monday evening session was sold out, we missed out the week before for that reason, so it is resonating with audiences. Let it put you under its spell.
A interesting, fun, awkward teen adventure that will take you on on adventure. Must see film for anyone who never quite fit in.It has quirkiness, 1970s throw back, girl drama and most importantly dad jokes. Gretel and Elliott will have you cheering from your seats that is OK to just be yourself.The film is perfectly pitched for teenagers or for anyone who was slightly left of field in high school. So just about everyone!Great to see Australian Films making its mark up with the big budget releases. I hope to see more of Whittet's plays adapted to the big screen.
After seeing the Windmill Theatre stage show in 2014, I was definitely hesitant as to how they'd transfer the production to the screen, especially the more dream-like sequences as they worked so well on stage.I was pleasantly surprised at the faithful retelling of the story, and blown away by the beautiful cinematography. Every shot is composed to perfection with clean lines dominating the first section and skewed lines dominating the dream sequences making for a nice contrast between the two.Hilarious dance sequences topped off the 70's vibe, with a number of outstanding amateur backup cast. Although it is different from the original stage production, I think anyone who enjoyed it will love this.
