Blame is an Australian feature funded by the MIFF Premiere Fund and written and directed by VCA graduate Michael Henry. The film stars some well known young Australian actors, Sophie Lowe (Beautiful Kate) and Kestie Morassi (Wolf Creek).
The friend I went and saw this film with begged me not to be harsh in my review of this first feature by Michael Henry, especially after being privy to some Q&A time where he shared his story of the 10 years of struggle to realise this project. So I will refrain a little from being too harsh but I will suggest that the story has a great premise an attempted murder and the sequence of events that ensure everything doesn't go according to plan! I do, however, have to comment on some of, what I thought was overacting in the film which lessened the impact that was intended from the film at certain points. One such brooding character looked as though he would be more at home playing one of the brooding characters in the "Twilight" franchise.....
Overall the film succeeded in bringing an atmosphere of tension to the screen and well done to writer/producer, Michael Henry for his passion and persistence, an example to us all.
- A thriller with a clever little twist..
Wow you've been busy! Great to read about these movies even if we don't all get to see them :(
