Review of Lantana

Lantana (2001)
9/10
It's a masterpiece... or it stinks!
2 July 2021
A surprisingly polarizing Australian film about almost nothing except people, ordinary people!

My guess is that if you're under 30 it wasn't much fun, and if you're over 40 it was an absorbing, grown up drama.

It's not a thriller and there are no murders, despite what you may have read in other reviews... but there is an unexplained death... eventually!

This movie does require your attention. And that's a big ask when it's two hours long!

Exemplary performances elevate the experience.

If you're patient, older and enjoy the ordinary, you'll be rewarded.
