“A delightful film from an exciting new voice in Australian cinema.”
“A surreal exploration of that in-between age when childish fears and fantasies collide with the realities of teenage society.”
“Magic…offbeat, but strangely right.”
“Trippy, fun sweet…refreshingly different.”
“The brightly coloured uniforms, formalised framing and studiously ‘awkward’ performances all recall the films of Wes Anderson – but it’s fair to assume that Myers has arrived at this style on her own road, preserving the presentational aspect of theatre while capitalising on the weirdness that arises when this approach is transferred to the screen.”
“An irresistibly fun visual feast that’s impossible not to enjoy.”
“A wild curiosity that shifts on a whim…there couldn’t be a better metaphor for the inner workings of a teenage girl’s mind.”
“The strength of Australian Rosemary Myers is expressed in her choice not to be trapped in any genre, but to swing easily from the registry of the vintage comedy to that of a fantastic film.”
