The girl in the dress is a short comedy film written and directed by Natalie Malla that showcases a troubled love story. At the beginning of the film we are introduced to two strangers that have met in a sunny park under unusual circumstances.
The viewer is subjected to an emotional fiery breakdown from wedding-dress-wearing Emily (Olivia Poulet) as she divulges her love for a man to street performer Rob (Rick Helm). We soon realise that Emily has not fled her own wedding but in fact, is planning to gatecrash her ex lovers.
The production appears to be mostly slapstick comedy with Emily boldly presenting most major negative female tropes. Emily, unfortunately is my least favourite type of leading character. She appears pathetic and desperate for a man. Her character is portrayed as totally unhinged. It makes poor Emily hard to connect with and extremely unlikeable.
The production did however, manage to make way for some laughs and the overall tone of the piece was upbeat and silly.
