An appropriately bizarre addition to this year’s Sydney Underground Film Festival, Greener Grass wants you think it’s better on the other side

They’re men! Men in belts, tight belts! They roam around the dojo looking for fights!

It always comes down to that ending

As this is the Underground Film Festival, the resulting trials are not especially G-rated

Monsters are almost always metaphors for something. Many films forget this and just have something wreaking havoc, while others make it crystal clear.

Irreverent opening extravaganza of little relevance to main story – check

Imitated, parodied, celebrated, overrated… there’s a lot of views on the man immortalised as Inspector Clouseau

Let’s get this out of the way first; Booksmart is a good film

One rarely expects a film as good as ‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’ to come along and we are always glad when it does
