The Gift That Gives

I watched this film not sure what to expect and I certainly didn't expect to resonate so much with the script. As a daughter of two political refugees who immigrated to Australia I've often had the feels of being stuck in between and to see this narrative play out was somewhat cathartic. The production value for this Independent film is very high and I caught flavours of Last Christmas starring Emilia Clark and subtle notes of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion - all 90s films I adore. I really see this film as a homage to all those 90s rom-coms and a nice reprieve from all the drama currently playing out on world news. So if you need a film to bring back some 90s nostalgia, an original Australian story and just something that leaves you happy rather than worse for wear than when you started - this is the film for you.
