Slam

Very well acted and a story that keeps you interested right till the end.

I saw it on Kanopy, and it is absolutely heartbreaking. The actors and brilliant, as is the cinematography. The direction is extremely sensitively done. It's well-paced and realistic. If you like political stories, Slam is the film for you.

I just loved Adam Bakri's measured performance of a foreign-born Australian who tries very hard to assimilate. But despite all, he is ostracised by everybody because they believe that his sister is an ISIS bride.

Rachael Blake as the disturbed cop is amazing. I felt so much for her pain of losing her only son to a war that meant nothing in the end. All those lives were lost for nothing in Afghanistan. Slam is a great anti-racist, anti-war film. Please have the patience to watch it till the explosive end.

Wanted to turn this off 2 mins in, boring, depressing, gave up after 10 mins. Don't waste your time, rubbish.

Slam is a thought provoking, slow burn film and it builds up to an explosive ending. It tells the story of a young muslim Australian who gets trapped in a cycle of prejudice and Islamophobia of the politicians and media. Rare for an Australian film that talks about minorities. Saw it at the 2019 Sydney Film Festival. A must watch, now available on Foxtel-Binge. Compelling cinema!
