It's Christmas and the holidays are upon us - nothing on the box so I searched top 30 comedies of 2015 and this little gem appeared on the first list.
It's difficult to critique without spoiling it suffice it to say the mundanities of relationships that turn a little stale or present themselves with obstacles to overcome is a well travelled path BUT this film treats that scenario with a clever, entertaining, moving mix of highs, lows and obscenely funny situations. All punctuated with the most ridiculously dark and amusing interjections of a registered sex offender - you gasp once, twice three times before the horror of the implications of this confession are ignored whilst you've been seduced into laughing it off!
Such a clever and twisted film - brilliantly Australian in it's humour and location. The crafting of scenes and narrative payoffs are deliciously executed. The soundtrack and use of music is powerful and enhances the experience and adds a pathos to the proceedings - in particular the fabulous use of music from Sleeping at Last and their Atlas : Light album.
I've already recommended this to my friends during the credit roll - watch it - it's frighteningly real but totally entertaining and thought provoking.
