Movie Review: Summer Heights High
For those of you who enjoyed Once Were Heroes and didn’t catch Summer Heights High on the box. It’s in store now. I had a marathon and watched the whole thing at once!
Chris Lilley has been slated as this decade’s Australian Comic genius, hailed as Australia’s own Ricky Gervais for his edgy work on We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High. Although this series has received mixed review I thought it was better than his first. What struck me with this series was the interaction with the kids around him, totally believable.
I would love to know more about his rehearsal techniques and the making of the show, how he made the kids look that natural I do not know…not to mention the animals! The special features unfortunately do not reveal any of this as we never see the man out of character.
See for yourself but a big thumbs up from me.
