#I'mNotDavidNorMargaret, Film Reviews My Way 2015

After disastrous results at the box office (and most reviews - via friends or in print) with Ruben Guthrie it's time to see if LAST CAB TO DARWIN can turn things around for Australian cinema.



Debuting at number 4 and taking in roughly 2 million Australian Dollars thus far Last Cab to Darwin appears to be better on the money side of things and then when you look at the glowing reviews, well it's definitely in a better place than recent Australian releases.

With Holding the Man still to come, it's been an interesting time in Australian Cinema. I for one enjoyed Ruben Guthrie and I am sure to like Holding the Man too (as both plays were wonderful) and well Last Cab. I loved it.

Little talked about town Broken Hill and Darwin were centre stage to this latest Australian Story and what a story. Told by the male and female legends of Australian screen, Mr Michael Caton who has done everything from Packed to the Rafters to Priscilla the Queen of the Desert live on Stage, in a musical!

Jacki Weaver is at the top of her game after the brilliant Animal Kingdom and now she stars as a wonderful Doctor in this great little Australian gem. Nice to also see newcomers and delightful stars like Mark Coles Smith and Ningali Lawford-Wolf.

This film covers so much, life/death, love/loss and true friendship. It shows off this beautiful brown land and is easily one of my favourite films of the year. It's touching and sweet and raw and rough all at once.

It was a pleasure to sit through this film and see the relationships and characters change over the duration of the film.

A top notch little Aussie effort well done Jeremy Sims and team behind the scenes, 4 sun soaked Darwin Stars, beautiful, just beautiful.
