ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

tartansuitcase An interesting history. Good actors, all of them, a so-so ok script with some clunky dialogue. The script would have worked fine if the director was up to the challenge, however this well-meant tv movie falls down flat.I don't understand why Australian tv-show/movie directors approach their show like they're a film student being given an episode of Home and Away to direct. No imagination, no sensitivity to the subject or the medium of film. And the by-the-numbers daytime soap musical interjections were toe-curling.The end montage of actors with the actual person was moving. More could have been made of this.In all, it's an ok movie, the sense of community is well created and the actors and subject make it worth a watch.One day maybe a good movie will be made of the history of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
