Violett (2023)
Visually stunning & truly emotive
This is a film made by people flexing their visual chops and showing some high level talent. The whole film is utterly striking in its aesthetic and in particular in use of colour palette.
The performances are really strong - the young actors are a highlight and the main leads are incredible. The cast is an assortment of interesting and often unsettling characters and all fit perfectly into the world that has been crafted.
The plot is engaging and the story is a affecting, layered and revealed at a nice pace. There are layers to the story that take it deeper than the standard horror film.
Strongly recommend.
The Xrossing (2020)
A remarkable achievement
The buzz around this film - and the awards it was winning internationally- meant I had pretty high expectations for it, and they were more than exceeded!
The story of the struggle to break the cycle of crime, ignorance and bigotry is handled with aplomb and becomes increasingly engrossing as it unfolds. It is never predictable or trite and brings several genuinely moving moments.
The performances of the main characters are all incredible - nuanced and subtle and completely believable at all times.
The movie also shows different aspects of the city of Perth - it's natural beauty on full display alongside it's seedier human side.
This film deserves all the accolades and compliments it has been receiving and I highly recommend checking it out.
