Audience Member Depressing and bleak. Quite an unnecessary film. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review paul a Aussie-style anger management issues Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review brendan n Hugh Jackman is very strong in the film and saves what grows into a very overly dramatic film. The filmmaking team don't have a lot of convincing characters or depth to carry the film for the duration and it's a bit performance based. I have wanted to watch this film for years, believing it was an indie great, but sadly it underdelivered for me. Jackman clearly outshines the others, his presence is intense and he carries every scene. The film grows stronger but the early sections of the film are a little hit and miss for me, you don't have a very clear reason about the hatred for the dad. They play one scene with loud whips, which is like a comedy and it demonstrates a lapse with the filmmaker. There is a lot of talent in the film, but not used correctly. 09/04/2019 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent performances Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This 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 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
