Leave your thoughts about Erskineville Kings.
| User ReviewPaul AThis critically acclaimed Aussie indie film is as gritty and raw as they come. Featuring Hugh Jackman in his breakout role, Erskinville Kings is a must see for fans of Aussie films. |
| User ReviewKelly MThis came out the same year as another great Aussie film, 'Two Hands.' At the AFI awards, Two Hands (starring Heath Ledger) won best film. But I reckon Erskineville Kings was a worthy nominee for best film, and may have been unlucky not to win. The cinematography is composed perfectly, and captures the essence of the small town setting |
| User ReviewGreg JAussie's can make good films and this is one of them. A little short at 80min though - could have seen plot lines drawn out further but the performances were magnificent. Very realistic! We need more well made films like this rather than mainstream poop. |
| User ReviewIrene TThis is a very underrated film. I think one of Hugh Jackman's most unknown works, which is unfortunate because he really gives a great performance. It also reminds me of some Canadian films I've seen which deal with the absent parent. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis is a little known Aussie movie with Hugh Jackman, before he went to America and started making crap. He is excellent as Wace. While the unfolding of the story between the two brothers is very well done, what I most like watching this movie are all the shots of the old inner areas of Sydney, and especially the empty family home Barky goes back to, all in the extreme heat of summer with a simple acoustic soundtrack. For anyone who has grown up in an Australian City it is all very familiar...it's as if you have walked down those streets yourself. |
| User ReviewAndrew TI found this film a bit slow - but I did like Hugh's character. A lot different from his other works. Though its always good to see aussies in Aussie films - which will be great to see him and nicole in Australia |
| User ReviewDolores HDepressing and bleak. Quite an unnecessary film. |
