The gabba strikes back

 

The Royal Hotel (2023)


Directed by Kitty Green this film stars Julia Garner, Jessica Henwick, Toby Wallace and Hugo Weaving. Two young backpackers take a job working at a bar in rural Australia.


I love the way this film simmers with anxiety, always threatening to break out into something horrific but never quite getting there. The low key, grounded nature of the film keeps an impressive level of realism about the story. While this film may fall a little short of the last Green/Garner collab it is still a really fantastic watch.


4/5
