| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicA sombre film, Bitter and Twisted is not Friday night entertainment, but rather a poignant look at grief and its ramifications. |
| Screen InternationalHoward FeinsteinIt's a miracle when an untracked English-language film arrives on the scene -- and a special joy when said movie is smashing. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesA much more appropriate title for this snoozefest would be Slow & Pointless. |
| User ReviewNicki MVery surprised by the negative reviews on this. I actually thought it was a really good little Australian slice of life film. I found a lot of this really rang true, very relatable. It's not exactly a feel good film as it is about a family who have been through a trauma with the death of their adult son. The father is eating himself to death and unhappy at work as a really bad car salesman. The mother is feeling her age and like her life is over. I found her character especially good. Their other son is chasing around the girlfriend of his dead brother, who is meanwhile involved with an older married man - you get the idea! Not a happy group of people. Recommended if you don't need a movie that is all happy and not true to life. Personally I liked this a lot. |
