Slant

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.

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 😂

A bold, gripping, darkly comedic film that captures a wonderful spectrum of humanity that is relatable on some levels, and weirdly whacky in its dissection of a dysfunctional family.

I love the detailed 90s references, the richness of the characters (their blind ambitions, their private hopes, their bizarre dreams, their sordid secrets), and unpredictable plot twists when least expected. Sometimes we find meanings and depths in a film that mirrors an aspect of who we are, also stumbling through life to find our grander selves.

This is a well produced independent Australian film that should be screened in all Cinemas to highlight the incredible talents in Australia.

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.

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.
