Topic Streaming Presents F*%#ING ADELAIDE Films Review— Small Town Games

Antipodean director Sophie Hyde transports us directly into her bare-bones hometown in South Australia. Bonfire scenes, sex scandals, magic shows and domestic violence unfurl before us in the parched landscapes of Adelaide.

Three grown-up children respond to their mother’s request to join her in their family home in light of some important news. Each pastel-colored episode lasts between 10 and 15 minutes, and focuses on a different aspect of family operations in a provincial city. We watch the agonizing slow-burn of siblings surrounding themselves in memories, and, as Hyde puts it: “the negative side of being around people who feel like they know you, but perhaps don’t allow you to change.”

This arty series will likely appeal to a wide ranging audience of all ages, particularly those who are interested in music, laughs, and Australian accents.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
