This is the second film I have seen by this director, the first being iSOLATE, which was brilliant, so I was hoping that this wouldn't disappoint, and it didn't.
Spencer is beautifully shot, obviously on a low budget but, it doesn't suffer from this at all, in fact, it is enhanced by the simple and beautiful aesthetic. The music score is superb, and the Melbourne locations plays a big role, especially for someone who lives there and has lived through the covid lockdowns and all that came along with that. Without going into spoilers, Spencer is a simple love story, but one that is told though the eyes of a bisexual man, and not a bisexual (LGBT) man that is struggling with his identity (which was very refreshing) but just a young man navigating the difficulties of relationships.
All the roles are well cast and performed, particularly the lead Adam Noviello, but the two standouts for me were Cleonie Morgan-Wootton in the role of Margret, and Natasha Maymon in the role of Ruby, these two ladies are truly magnificent on a global scale.
This movie is equal parts joy, and sadness, and I loved it.
Highly recommended.
