Reinforces my belief that Australian movies are trash

ugh totally agree.

To be fair, there was a pretty elaborate set-up for the death. He was taking tablets in one of his earliest scenes ("they're not Viagra"), and before he sets out for that last evening we're shown that he's left the tablets at home. Seems it was related to some heart-related condition.

It could have been whole a lot clumsier.

I suppose on a clear day you can see the class struggle from here.

I'm australian and even I agree that aussie films suck.

There are 600-700 films released for cinema in the US every year, and at a guess, you'd struggle to find 50 good ones.

It is unrealistic to expect most Australian films to be good. If you get 5 good ones in 5 years then that would be reasonable. Sometimes they might come in a cluster, like Romper Stomper, Muriel's Wedding and Priscilla. Other times there might be a 5 year drought.

Part of the problem is that America is the big league, and any Australian with talent as an actor, writer or director will get discovered and move there fairly early in their career, meaning the likes of Peter Hellier and Megan Gale are the last ones standing asked to make the movies that nobody wants to see.

We should aim for less movies of higher quality.

You don't pay an awful lot of attention do you? As far as Aussie films go, this is one of the better ones recently.
