Slant

Never sure what i was watching. A quircky drama comedy suspense even some horror elements. Lady behind us was laughing at a pool of blood. So i guess its a comedy for some. Excellent musical score and performances from some iconic Australian actors and next generation of new talent. If this film doesnt achieve broad main stream release it will be a shame for Australian cinema. If not it should become a cult classic. I expect the discussion moving forward will be the interpretation of the film. In the theatre the audience was involved in an animated discussion on different theories on potential guilty parties. Definite potential for a sequel as there is scope to explore multiple plots in the future.

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.

This is a dark comedy that is quite original and unique.

The story is a little off kilter and hard to follow due to it being too complex, erratic, and convoluted.

But there is hope for this, it has a brilliant cast of great actors especially Sigrid Thornton who is a force in this film with a great ensemble witty cast like Pia Miranda. There are brilliant locations, production design, grading, hair and makeup (except the fake beard at the end) and really good music score.

This film is very ambitious with some great dialogue, and many genres in a mixed bag, drama, comedy, murder-mystery-esque film.

If you want something different to watch - Check this out I feel this will possibly be nominated or sweep the AACTA AWARDS - You heard it here first - 15th October 2023.

Overall great execution of a so-so storyline and great overall direction.

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 😂

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.
