Barons (2022)
Great cast - dreamy and nostalgic
Barons beautifully paints a picture of a very specifically Australian Surf culture as it emerged in the 70's. The way this is shot and presented gives an immersive and sensuous window into that time, drenched in sun and film light leaks. The story and settings are well put together, but the casting choices are the real standout, with Sean Keenan, Ben O'Toole, Jillian Nguyen and the rest of the ensemble blending together beautifully to give a sense of the dynamics shifting between them, but also wonderfully portraying the period in which it is set.
The Gloaming (2020)
The slow burn and loving it
This show starts slowly but had totally captivated me within a couple of episodes and I found myself unable to look away as the story unfolded. It's quite different to the usual pace we're used to these days and I think that's one of the things it does really well. It's pacing allows for mysteries within mysteries and for a slow dread to unfurl. Some fantastic and haunted performances in here too, not to mention the gorgeous cinematography and the beautiful Tasmanian vistas.
