Suburban Wildlife

Absolutely no plot with nothing of note in either the acting or the filming itself. No way to empathise or gain insight into any of the characters who are two dimensional and some really poor acting, but given the lack of plot guess they had not much to embellish upon.

Non-plot is they get drunk and off their heads wander around with lots of 'atmospheric' shots of nothing with a non-inspiring sound track. Spacey but not in a good way. In fact the plot would be vastly improved if they had been abducted by aliens.

Spent the whole film waiting for something to happen. If it was trying to be atmospheric or capturing the moment it's failed miserably. Do NOT bother - honestly... and I love films.

Or spaced out as i wouldve said in my drunken late teens. its a film about dreams, hopes and ambitions, mixed with a confusional gender confusement, in a flock of one cock and three hen living and spelling the last days of teens before the crushing weight of adulthood suddenly appears. it has some flippy floppy hippiish carisma bound to it, the choice of score and the always swaying and moving cinematography shows all the signs of independality.

it didnt appeal to me , the grumpy old man, i grew up in the stoneage of non digital input, just some 00001, 01001 in a language called basic, but you might like it. it has some sore parts that will bait some.

If you think filming a whole bunch of people walking around doing mundane things or everyday things is interesting then watch this bad film. A bunch of late teens walking around, taking drugs and there is NO story. No emotion, nothing compelling, nothing interesting, nothing entertaining and definitely no heart. There is no struggle or even a goal for the so called protagonists. I've never seen so many shots of houses, trees, birds, planes etc to fill in a film that has no story or purpose. There is NO vision here, a Director should understand storytelling. You cant shoot a bunch of stuff and try an and be arty farty and expect people to understand it. Gender bending, confusion, winging teens. Basic dialogue and characters are walking around with no motivation, no goal. People don't want to watch nothing. The acting is passable but mediocre, the most interesting actor is the middle eastern actress, who is by far the best actress and great to look at. 1 star for effort.

Brilliantly made movie at all levels, from script to acting to all levels of production. Considering how pathetic movies with multi-million-dollar budgets have been of late, the fact that Suburban Wildlife was made on little more than a handful of coins is great testament to what can be achieved if you assemble people with passion.

If this is any indication of Imogen McCluskey's talents, she'll go far - perhaps even to Peter Jackson's levels if she gets recognised by "the powers that be."

A film that keeps you watching till the end because we have been there.
