Slant

Hate how you have to give this over 600 words.. It doesn't even deserve 600 words..

The amount of good things I heard about this and how it was so hyped up during the festivals and even on instagram and how it took the festivals "by storm" who did actually enjoy it? Because I know it wasn't me, that is for sure.

It needs the speed up feature to be watched because it is so slow in places and so over the top.

The only decent actor in this is Sigrid Thornton and then she is too over the top for this, her monologue during one scene was the only good part of this, someone please apologise to Sigird.

You can skip this one, find something a bit more fast paced or with a speed up option.

Was fortunate enough to attend a screening at Luna Perth of Slant which was followed by an interaction with various members of the cast/crew. After listening to audience questions and replies given, would really like to watch it again to see from the different points of view given, as it is open to interpretation. Someone in the audience likened it to a Tarantino type of movie, which that in itself is a huge wrap.

It was a mixed bag of murders, crazy people, family loyalty as well as humour.

A couple of times i jumped with fright and the next I was laughing.

The cast were amazing with Sigrid leading a group of up and coming Australian talent who did an exceptional job. Considering the film was done on a small budget, the film did not seem to lack from impact or locations used.

Would definitely recommend if you like something that is not cookie cutter.

I must have missed something. This film was nothing like any of the reviews stated was in no way 8.2. Even if you take it as a slap stick comedy rather than a thriller. It is still horrendous. I paid for this! Thinking it was going to be a nostalgia fest from the 90's abit of a thriller. Something different. However. How wrong was I.

Clearly they're onto something luring people into the film with false reviews etc if everyone does like me and actually pays to watch it.what a fool.

The best part of was the burger phone. That took me back to my youth. Calling friends after school even though I'd spent 8 hours with them 😂

Slant is a fast-paced dramatic black comedy with audience appeal throughout. The film moved the audience from laughing out loud to gasping with surprise and horror. An emotional roller coaster of a story that twisted and turned its way through the trials of a dysfunctional family. An emotional story, painfully yet unbearably funny. Based in the 80's in Melbourne, the setting was realistic and relatable. The story, art direction and cast can be proud of their hard work and commitment to the Australian film industry. Congratulations and applause to the creative and talented team that gave us a very entertaining night out.

There's so much to love here! Firstly the creative team clearly knows their cast strengths and plays I to them delightfully. I could watch Sigrid read dramatic heartfelt monologues for hours on end.

Secondly I was Almost shocked when the movie ended and there were only two songs used apart from the original scores which is such a testament that it never felt stale or lacking (the two songs used were such bops!) Despite a smaller budget movie it never feels like they settled for less in the quality they produced like some low budget films you see littered on streaming platforms. This is a film many different film fans could enjoy.

It has a fun quirky mystery akin to knives out series with a campy horror film vibe and just a touch of touch of family drama just bloody enough yet not so gory that I couldn't easily recommend.

It is clear this was a labour of love and not made merely to make a movie.
