A psychological thriller with no violence, blood or gore. All verbal. That's something which I find very fascinating about this film. It has the guts to expose the reality of how people act, especially here in Australia where other films depict it very cliche. It's not afraid to make the viewers feel uncomfortable and red faced. Every situation in this film feels like one you've been through, and every character is someone you've hung out with. It's mentally insane how relatable all of this is - in good and bad ways. Each metaphor, each meaning, expands to something much larger. It's incredible.
The long breathable shots allow the audience to be impacted by such strong and raw performances from all of the cast especially during the dialogue heavy sequences specifically the dinner scene where it puts the audience in an uncomfortable position for an extended matter of time. I fell in love with the fast-paced, musically queued editing with those familiar Banjo-Kazooie and Microsoft error sound effects. After six viewings, the soundtrack has been on repeat daily. It will make my spotify wrapped next year 100%.
Give this film the support it needs to help the duo's next feature which is a schoolies thriller.
The standout moments come from its captivating fever dream sequences, adding a fantastic visual layer to the story. The plot follows Irene, who joins her fiancé Louie's unorthodox buck's party weekend, leading to unexpected and unsettling events. Louie's groomsmen's actions take the celebration into a wild, drug-induced ride, painting a darkly humorous and thought-provoking picture of young Australian men.
Although "Birdeater" isn't flawlessly executed, its willingness to explore challenging themes and the imaginative use of fever dream sequences make it a noteworthy contender in the indie film realm. For those intrigued by boundary-pushing storytelling that blends genres, this movie might just be worth checking out.
But then searching online I find the guy who started the SFF Sydney Film Festival is a cofounder of the production company. So, the fact that all BREATHLESS film were accepted into the festival Not based on their merit is a CONFLICT of interest. And there have been far superior films made in SYDNEY that didn't get into the festival - explain that? Thid film is trying to be artistic, trying too hard to be different, so it has a unique voice. BUT to do that you need STORY, and this lacks that as well as the super loud sound design and music that drowns out the mumbling dialogue. On that note that sound design is too weird it wrecks the atmosphere of an already doomed picture. There is no strong anything here at all, the actors seem uncomfortable and the chemistry between the 2 leads is so awkward and is bad casting. And once again we are in the middle of the bush with a bunch of white people with the one token black girl, no diversity at all. The lead is not chiasmatic or interesting or engaging, just wooden and 2 dimensional. The film is shot well, so that's all I can give marks for. And 2 hours for this is way too long when you have no story to tell, using the film reference Wake in Fright as inspiration or in Homage to is just so wrong as it doesn't even come close. In the final 10 minutes the film tries to invoke a LESSON but it's too late when there was no story to begin with. People will say that you didn't understand the film but that's rubbish, in closing don't waste your time. Read my other reviews to see how supportive I am of the film-industry in Oz, I go and rent and buy all Aussie films and even go out to all the Q&A's so read my reviews and you will see what the very best of OZ Cinema has.
At the beginning of the movie they have a warning to the audience saying that there's toxic masculinity and an acknowledgment to the aborigines people that they were on their land or something?
I had read this was a horror movie. There was no horror in the movie. I also read a couple of articles where the journalists were apologizing for the toxic masculinity in the film. I didn't see any of that either.
This is one of the weirdest films I have ever seen in my life. This is one of the stupidest films I've ever seen. 99% of this "horror" movie is a group of kids sitting around talking.
Please save yourself nearly 2 hours. You'll thank me later.
1/10 very odd movie.

Dylan: I didn't wanna do this but I was asked to, so..Louie and Irene.
Louie: Cheers. Thanks, Dylan. Thank you, mate.
Dylan: I love Louie. We all love Louie, yeah? And, um, we are gathered here tonight to memorialise, to adios, as they say, to the man we once knew. A passionate low grade sportsman, only solo, never in a team. He didn't wanna rely on others when he could just fuck things up for himself. Academically, he was notorious for being unremarkable. Louie couldn't say he was smart, you know, he wasn't dumb either. He's just. You're just fucking there, aren't ya? He didn't get invited to many parties either but when he did, he would enjoy laughing at jokes he didn't hear. Fucking stealing people's beers just to pick at the label. Then he'd just leave without saying goodbye to the boys. Uh, but, you know, against all odds, he wasn't embarrassed to be this way, you know. That's how, Louie wanted things. He wanted to hide in plain sight. He had a moderate size porn collection. Haha, wait a minute. I'm joking. Louie doesn't watch any porn.
Louie: Good one, Dylan.
Dylan: You know, as it was, everyone knew Louie like they knew me and Charlie. We came as three. Even when we weren't together. Nah, Charlie was the smart one, I was the funny one and Louie was the nice one. Together we made one interesting person. So, uh, that was that. I like to think Louie and I really came together on two separate occasions. The first time being on Year 10 camp. You know, we went back to the cabin..
Louie: Uh, Dylan, we're not gonna do that story, mate. We can't do that story.
Dylan: Haha, yeah. You're right. Too silly, Louie. Too silly for dinner... The second time was at my house and we went on..
Louie: Dylan, mate. Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, let's just speed this up, hey?
Dylan: Okay. Okay. Okay, Louie. Okay. Okey dokey. What should we talk about then? Mmm? You know sometimes in life, a man's lucky enough to get something that he really wants. You know, like, really get it. And if he doesn't, the next best thing is seeing his best mate get it, so here we are.
Charlie: Yep, here we are.
Dylan: A man of his word.
Charlie: His word indeed.
Louie: Thank you, Dylan. Thank you very much mate.
Dylan: I'm gonna fuck that girl by the end of the night, I promise you both. That's what Louie said to us the first time he saw Irene. Johann's birthday. Party at the beach. Really scenic. Waves. Sand. Seagulls. It was beautiful. Oh, and Louie, he didn't even know who she was but he wanted her. She didn't even know who she was there with, if she was available, but old Louie wanted her. And then Irene got drunk, like really drunk. And Louie was sober. In fact, a clever onlooker might have been able to tell you that old Louie over here was a bit more generous when pouring the drinks for his new best friend Irene than he was when he was pouring those drinks for himself. And in the end, hey! That's the first time Louie fucked Irene. Hey? Or shouldn't I have said that.
