    The Summer with Carmen

    ★★★½

    Funny, colourful, somewhat original & unique. A little too long. Pleasingly sweet. Perhaps ironically i felt the script could have done with some tightening. Loved the ending credits!

    Saw 4k restoration. Beautiful golden look to the film! Particularly scenes at Hanging Rock. Wonderfully mysterious. Felt it lacked clarity in the narrative at times, but this added to the mystery somewhat. Awesome location.

    ★★★★★

    Absolute 5 star film. LOL Funny, relatable, tense, awkward and sweet. The almost real time story is brilliant. Perfect title too... Shiva cos that's where it's set, Baby cos there's a baby, but there's other meanings too. A film about pressure, work, identity, queerness, the patriarchy, and women. Awesome blunt soundtrack solidifying the awkwardness, anger and pressure. Loved it!

    Sad, creepy, beautiful and atmospheric. Slow drip feed of revealing a mystery. Loved it.
