Sporadic film reviews by a wanna-be filmmaker
Month: May 2018
TULLY [2018]
Tully is a very real, heavy film that, with some unique humour, creates a unique experience. We first meet the heavily pregnant mother Marlo, an almost unrecognisable Charlize Theron, as she is quite literally brushing her son’s arms and legs. It serves as an… Continue Reading “TULLY [2018]”

HOT DOCS: GURRUMUL [2018]
Originally written for Cinemaaxis.com Music is a universal language. The art of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, born blind, is more than music; his voice speaks to everyone despite the language barrier, it transcends everything in order for him to sing about his culture, his life… Continue Reading “HOT DOCS: GURRUMUL [2018]”
