Featured review
The Jammed has created much controversy here in Melbourne, Australia - where it was shot.
For some bizarre reason it was rejected by the Melbourne Int'l Film Festival (MIFF) organisers this year - very strange since they brag they promote and support the Australian Film Industry.
It has been given a VERY LIMITED cinema release - 10 days in one cinema only.
It has not been entered in the 2007 AFI awards (probably because the makers have to pay a $1000 entry fee or because of deadline issues...).
Some film critics have labelled it a dog and others are waxing lyrical on it as being the best Australian film of 2007.
I saw it today in a sold out session and although sitting in row 2 - i found it to be a very well made and acted film. Not a masterpiece but still worth seeing.
Considering I sat through some questionable films at the recent MIFF and sure to sit through a few duds at the AFI festival starting this weekend - I am surprised a film of this quality - and examining a very important topic - has been treated so poorly here in Melbourne.
