#Long story short films movie#
One of the big bonuses in this Aussie movie is seeing a stalwart of Australian Cinema. Too many people have lost the art of living in the moment and are instead trapped in a world on their own electronic devices. The whole plot revolves around living our best life and making every second of every moment count. Is so last year, but you'll hear it a lot in "Long Story Short" and for good reason.
A solid rom com which tackles the "curse with a lesson" device in its own unique way and succeeds. This really could've been set anywhere, but the NSW coastal setting was still very much appreciated. It was refreshingly nice to see an Aussie made film that never focused on the fact that it was Australian. Josh Lawson has done a great job with this quirky little film which he wrote and directed and appears in briefly. Noni Hazlehurst and Dena Kaplan were both wonderful with strong portrayals of their characters despite having only a few scenes each. Zahra Newman and Ronny Chieng were perfect in their supporting roles, bringing a lot of emotion to the story and their characters. He pulled off both the comedy and the tragedy of his character with his usual brilliance. Rafe Spall was hilarious in what felt like a scene that ran for almost the entire movie yet was never boring or slow. It had a very small cast, but they were all great. Long Story Short was hilarious, sweet and at times a little sad and touching.
