Reviews
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
An interesting history. Good actors, all of them, a so-so ok script with some clunky dialogue. The script would have worked fine if the director was up to the challenge, however this well-meant tv movie falls down flat.I don't understand why Australian tv-show/movie directors approach their show like they're a film student being given an episode of Home and Away to direct. No imagination, no sensitivity to the subject or the medium of film. And the by-the-numbers daytime soap musical interjections were toe-curling.The end montage of actors with the actual person was moving. More could have been made of this.In all, it's an ok movie, the sense of community is well created and the actors and subject make it worth a watch.One day maybe a good movie will be made of the history of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
