Anzac Girls (2014)

Disappointing
4 June 2015
This is a dreadful take on a period of human history that deserved so much better. Stylised, trivial nonsense with characters that would struggle to engage the average chick-flick lover. Gallipoli was a massacre, a tragedy, and an damning indictment on the level of stupidity and cruelty of which our race is capable. We are dealing here with one of the bloodiest and most sombre episodes of the first world war (if you ever go to the place and just soak in the almost pervasive atmosphere you will know) and yet it is treated here as though it was high a school teen drama with a few mutilated soldiers thrown in for effect. Respect for the fallen? This rubbish doesn't even have respect for itself.
