BRAN NUE DAE

Bran Nue Dae is the first Aussie movie I’ve actually gone to the cinema for since Baz Luhrmann’s overblown epic ‘Australia’. It’s actually the first time in a long time I’ve wanted to see an Australian movie based on the trailer, so I was hopeful that it would be at least as fun as the trailer; it was.

Bran Nue Dae isn’t a masterpiece by any means however enthusiastic performances, and smile inducing musical numbers more than make up for a choppily edited and at times limited script. And can I say how good it is to watch an Australian film that doesn't feel the need to be 'worthy' and isn't afraid to have fun; more please!
