Hilarious and touching
11 February 2021
Long Story Short was hilarious, sweet and at times a little sad and touching.

It had a very small cast, but they were all great.

Rafe Spall was hilarious in what felt like a scene that ran for almost the entire movie yet was never boring or slow. He pulled off both the comedy and the tragedy of his character with his usual brilliance.

Zahra Newman and Ronny Chieng were perfect in their supporting roles, bringing a lot of emotion to the story and their characters.

Noni Hazlehurst and Dena Kaplan were both wonderful with strong portrayals of their characters despite having only a few scenes each.

Josh Lawson has done a great job with this quirky little film which he wrote and directed and appears in briefly.

It was refreshingly nice to see an Aussie made film that never focused on the fact that it was Australian. This really could've been set anywhere, but the NSW coastal setting was still very much appreciated.

A solid rom com which tackles the "curse with a lesson" device in its own unique way and succeeds. Highly recommend.
