Interesting
20 August 2007 | by (Australia) – See all my reviews

The Jammed has created much controversy here in Melbourne, Australia - where it was shot.

For some bizarre reason it was rejected by the Melbourne Int'l Film Festival (MIFF) organisers this year - very strange since they brag they promote and support the Australian Film Industry.

It has been given a VERY LIMITED cinema release - 10 days in one cinema only.

It has not been entered in the 2007 AFI awards (probably because the makers have to pay a $1000 entry fee or because of deadline issues...).

Some film critics have labelled it a dog and others are waxing lyrical on it as being the best Australian film of 2007.

I saw it today in a sold out session and although sitting in row 2 - i found it to be a very well made and acted film. Not a masterpiece but still worth seeing.

Considering I sat through some questionable films at the recent MIFF and sure to sit through a few duds at the AFI festival starting this weekend - I am surprised a film of this quality - and examining a very important topic - has been treated so poorly here in Melbourne.
