A Mentira de Millie

I saw Millie Lies Low in Melbourne last week.

Great movie, impressive first feature directing by Michelle Savill to balance the tone so well, and really top notch unaffected acting by the cast. Do recommend!!!

The film weaves a beautiful line of awkward comedic relief and thoughtfully framed reflection on the confusion of being a young adult, and the relationships that come with it. I found the film entertaining throughout, I laughed frequently, and it also gave me pause for thought.

My partner and I chatted frequently over the following days about things the film prompted for us, like the way the lead character and her mum related, or laughing at moments like the scene that the film's climax pivots on.

Loved the Wellington NZ sets - only anyone that has travelled or lived there will be able to understand the aptness of the wind scene!!
