This is a light hearted rom-com about the problems of finding love and friendship and bridging the gap between the two.
The film is full of new faces, and the lead characters, Charlotte Gregg as Anthea and Matt Zeremes as Michael, are both very likeable.
While there is a lot to like about this film, it seems to run out of ideas in the middle, and while we all know where the film is heading, the film approaches the final denouement with glacial slowness and a lack of imaginative dialogue, resulting in lots of cryptic silent glares, before the final kiss.
It's not bad, and it's great to see a film set in Brisbane, but it's a little let-down by the script.

"It's great to see a movie set in Brisbane, showcasing our city so beautifully. The story is relatable, focusing on a group of friends deciding whether to stay in Brisbane or move away. The actors do a good job, and their chemistry feels real, making the friendships believable.
The film captures the essence of Brisbane well, with familiar places and landmarks. However, the script is a bit of a letdown. The dialogue sometimes feels forced and cliché, missing out on deeper, more unique aspects of Brisbane life.
Overall, "All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane" is enjoyable and worth watching, especially for locals. It's not perfect, but it's a heartfelt movie that celebrates Brisbane and the relatable struggles of deciding whether to stay or go."
