I saw this at the Sydney Film Festival 2017.
This movie is the typical youth dreaming of becoming a star and then we route for him/her as they are rejected by the establishment only to rise like a phoenix. Why so they keep making them? Because we love them is why. The beauty here is the parallels with the star Danielle MacDonald.
Danielle is a Sydney girl, who could not get noticed down under and went State-side to find her niche. Her talent is unstoppable and she does dirty Jersey (their words in credits not mine) proud.
The rapping is brilliant. I can't understand most of the stuff they play on the radio but given the context, the lyrics are poignant cries to the world of her plight.
Go - be inspired by Killer P and try stop singing P B N J days after you see the movie.

Loved it. We saw it at the Sydney Film Festival.
The film will struggle to find the audience it deserves because selling a medieval bawdy romp in today's market is difficult. I think back to the 70's and there were many more of these.
The cast is fun and the presence of quality actors such as Nick Offerman and John C Reily show it is not an ultra-low soft-porn production, though the titling could be referencing that at the start.
I saw this at the same weekend as the Beguiled, also about a group of women cloistered who encounter a single male. LH is far more fun and a better use of your time.
Set in Tuscany (no production notes on filming locations) it is prettily shot.
Nudity is not overused, there are a couple of breast shots and the full frontal stuff is in the distance by firelight so hardly tittilating. Nothing that was not done ad nauseum through the 70's

We saw this as part of an AACTA preview and so had the producer, director and Aaron Pedersen in a Q&A afterwards.
This movie is tight and very well written. I usually cringe when seeing movies which are written and directed by the same person. These movies tend to either need development and someone to say "no" that will not work or meandering messes. There was none of that in this movie.
Everything is fleshed out so we do not get two-dimensional characters. We care enough about everyone and even the dog and baby have their moments, that are believable and interesting. I like the decisions and twists in the plotting. There is nothing ridiculous (read: American exceptionalism) in it. People don't suddenly morph into Rambo in this movie and it is better for it.
This is violent but not gratuitous splatter-porn.
