Slant

Never sure what i was watching. A quircky drama comedy suspense even some horror elements. Lady behind us was laughing at a pool of blood. So i guess its a comedy for some. Excellent musical score and performances from some iconic Australian actors and next generation of new talent. If this film doesnt achieve broad main stream release it will be a shame for Australian cinema. If not it should become a cult classic. I expect the discussion moving forward will be the interpretation of the film. In the theatre the audience was involved in an animated discussion on different theories on potential guilty parties. Definite potential for a sequel as there is scope to explore multiple plots in the future.

What an amazing movie. It has just the right mix of comedy, drama, gore and heart. The slow reveal of two dysfunctional families colliding and imploding on multiple levels ensures the audience is consistently engaged and slightly off-kilter - making it a real roller coaster of a film.

We attended the Darwin premiere at the Deckchair Cinema and were lucky enough to have a Q&A after the movie with the writer, director, producer & Sigurd Thornton. They shared how collaborating and respecting everyone's ideas made the movie the success that it is.

It is truly impressive what a young independent team of filmmakers can do when they set their minds to it.

A bold, gripping, darkly comedic film that captures a wonderful spectrum of humanity that is relatable on some levels, and weirdly whacky in its dissection of a dysfunctional family.

I love the detailed 90s references, the richness of the characters (their blind ambitions, their private hopes, their bizarre dreams, their sordid secrets), and unpredictable plot twists when least expected. Sometimes we find meanings and depths in a film that mirrors an aspect of who we are, also stumbling through life to find our grander selves.

This is a well produced independent Australian film that should be screened in all Cinemas to highlight the incredible talents in Australia.

I must have missed something. This film was nothing like any of the reviews stated was in no way 8.2. Even if you take it as a slap stick comedy rather than a thriller. It is still horrendous. I paid for this! Thinking it was going to be a nostalgia fest from the 90's abit of a thriller. Something different. However. How wrong was I.

Clearly they're onto something luring people into the film with false reviews etc if everyone does like me and actually pays to watch it.what a fool.

The best part of was the burger phone. That took me back to my youth. Calling friends after school even though I'd spent 8 hours with them 😂

Was fortunate enough to attend a screening at Luna Perth of Slant which was followed by an interaction with various members of the cast/crew. After listening to audience questions and replies given, would really like to watch it again to see from the different points of view given, as it is open to interpretation. Someone in the audience likened it to a Tarantino type of movie, which that in itself is a huge wrap.

It was a mixed bag of murders, crazy people, family loyalty as well as humour.

A couple of times i jumped with fright and the next I was laughing.

The cast were amazing with Sigrid leading a group of up and coming Australian talent who did an exceptional job. Considering the film was done on a small budget, the film did not seem to lack from impact or locations used.

Would definitely recommend if you like something that is not cookie cutter.
