Berlinale: Galore Review

Directed by: Rhys Graham
Written by: Rhys Graham
Starring: Ashleigh Cummings, Lily Sullivan, Toby Wallace, Aliki Matangi
Running time: 103 minutes
Release date: TBA

Initially, there was a lot to root for in Rhys Graham's teenage screwball feature, Galore, and the premise was a promising one. It is a valiant attempt at an honest portrayal of the ups and downs of the lives of a group of Australian youths in Canberra. The main players of this stage are introduced as Billie, the unapologetic wildchild, Laura, the gentle-souled daydreamer, Danny as the baby-faced skater boy and tough, misunderstood Islander kid Isaac. The film breezes through the events that take place prior to a raging bush fire that will tear through and eradicate everything they used to know as home - a roll call of drink, sex, relationships and rebellion.
