Silver Screen in 2017 {Don't Tell}

I have seen a couple of Australian films this year and despite the fact I have had to seek them out attend strange session times at least this year there has been some Australian films shown at the cinema.

It's been a time of superhero films, reboots and sequels so a small Australian story based on a book and a real life event breaks the big screen mould.

And by small story I mean NO CGI or comic book references.



Don't Tell is a compelling and well acted piece that leaves you on the edge of your scene as the final scenes play out.

The film was highly entertaining and well acted from some of Australia's most well known actors, Jack Thompson, Susie Porter, Gyton Grantley, Martin Sacks, Rachel Griffiths and Sara West (in the screen cap above).

It's good to see an Australian film take the early stages of the Royal Commission into child sex abuse take this to the big screen. It's a hard story to take but it's a story we need to hear.

The stats at the end of the film are intense and horrifying the Royal Commission is one of the best things put into play in recent years.

You will leave this film mad at the school in question and also feel like the legal team behind young Lyndal with the verdict at the end of the film.

I enjoyed this and again editing was well done for this not to out stay it's welcome. 3.75 solid stars.
