easy to watch

Carmen and Bolude is a fun movie but carries a strong message. There are engaging characters and especially strong female leads. There are lots of laugh out loud moments and some tears. All the feels in one digestible package with some lingering messages to think about.

Those lingering messages are explored around cross cultural relationships and identity in an adventure that includes New York, Sydney and some spectacular NSW sites. The "family dinner" scene is one many will relate too with a level of discomfort that is tangible, squirmy but cleverly, funny. Everyone who has ever felt unseen or not quite sure of who they were will identify.

Not your average movie

It is an amazing movie, addressing the societal issues we face but delivering it in an easy to digest manner.

While dealing with important issues, the use of comic relief to lighten the mood is a welcome development.

The movie also made me be in all my feels as the actors made me feel what they felt. Laughing at the funny moments and crying too when the actors had to deal deep and personal issues.

I love how inclusive and intentional they were to ensure the authenticity of the characters and portrayal of the cultures represented in the movie.

It is such an entertaining and informative movie.

I laughed and cried and left with love

I'm not normally a movie goer but I was invited to the Australian premier of Carmen and Bolude and thought "sure, could be fun". It was more than that. This movie explored themes of friendship, home, love (romantic and familial) and culture. More importantly it explored how they intersect. If it had been delivered as a drama it probably would have bored me to tears. Instead, the comedic approach lightened what could have been dark moments and had me laughing. There were also moments where my tears flowed freely. I can't remember the last time a film moved me as much as this one did. Watch this movie. You won't regret it!

Great Directing by Maria Isabel Delaossa

This film was Co Written by the two main female Actors playing the roles of Carmen & Bolude respectively. Anyone will understand that when you have two writers that are also the Leads, they will often want to have an equal amount of screen time and a comparable arc that each one goes through. In my opinion this is where films like this can fall down. To the audience it can feel like there's two different films playing. However, there are some funny moments throughout.

Given the material to work with, I think Director Maria Isabel Delaossa did an amazing job and has proven herself to be fine Director of Drama and Comedy.

Can't wait to see what she does next!

Non-Stop Laughs and Heartfelt

Carmen & Bolude is genuinely funny, with laugh-out-loud moments throughout the whole film. Even the emotional scenes were supported and relieved by touches of humour, ensuring that the film didn't drag like a straight emotional drama.

The characters are chaotic and flawed yet so loveable, and you can't help rooting for them. The two female leads are exceptional and it was refreshing to see a womance (rather than another bromance).

It was also great to see male characters who were there, not to outshine the women, but to support and bolster them.

Overall, it's just great to see an Australian comedy that's actually funny!
