That Netflix Gay #2016

Following my rave reviews of Netflix documentaries and the brilliant recent relationship comedy series release Easy, we now go to a Netflix film TALLULAH.



The official trailer has clocked in at over a million views and no doubt this film has done well for the streaming giant!

An all star cast follows Page's bad decisions and lies to kidnap a child in New York. That is a basic summary of the films major plot. But the cast is really key to this film, Ellen Page is vulnerable and outstanding as the lead and Alison Janney (like my previous review for The Girl on the Train) is outstanding.

With an all star cast from the TV (Dexter, The Big C) and the film world this movie is big budget stuff and if great stories like this continue to come from the streaming machine expect the film studios to start to panic.

Ellen Page as an adult is a real little star and her and Janney are just brilliant as this odd couple wrapped up in all the lies and deceptions that just spiral out of control.

If your a mother this might be tough viewing, if you a gay with no kids like me I wouldn't understand what it was like to lose a child. However if someone took my dog, SHIT would get real!

Tallulah like The Girl on the Train explores simple, everyday human emotions but this raw insight into these natural emotions is the real key to why this film works. From divorce to poverty, to child abduction and fear this film covers a lot of ground.

Impressive stuff and well worth a peek on your monthly Netflix subscription, 3.5 Stars.
