Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOf this film, its director Matt Vesely has said: "The opportunity to make striking science fiction is one I've worked towards my entire life. I'm so grateful for this opportunity from the SAFC [South Australian Film Corporation] and the Adelaide Film Festival [AFF], and am stoked with the team we've put together. There's a real feeling of ownership from the entire cast and crew, and that's a really supportive place to make a first feature.''
Featured review
Trauma and dealing with it
No pun intended - it is not an easy feat to deal with stuff from the past. It is even worse if you do not know exactly what it is you have to deal with. And for the viewer it may be tricky to say the least. I am not an avid podcast listener, so I am not aware of all the ins and outs. That said, it doesn't seem to be too complicated.
But the podcast is just a shell - a shell that does only cover what is the core of the movie. Our main character who sort of has to shoulder the movie on her own. She is not the first to do just that and there have been other movies that did it better (looking at you Pontypool). But the movie is still more than intriguing. Especially the twists and turns are what make (or break for some) the movie.
The central performance is quite out there - in the best of senses. There may be stuff that gets repeated (interviews that you hear more than once) and the movie does use cliches - but if you hold tight, the movie will reward you ... not physical reward. And you also have to decipher certain things for yourself. Like a ring - one to rule them all ... or more than one? And what would that tell us? You'll be able to see it I am certain ...
