Sean Byrne’s debut feature, The Loved Ones, not only received a standing ovation at last year’s midnight madness screening at TIFF, but it was also the recipient of The Cadillac People’s Choice Award (Midnight Madness), and received a number of positive reviews (including our own).
Anyone who has been following trends in world cinema cannot deny that there are a lot of new voices emerging from Australia. Feel free to toss director Sean Byrne into the list. The Loved Ones is a slick, quick, and surprisingly intense little anti-love story, and if there is one movie made for the Fantasia audience in this year’s line up, it’s The Loved Ones. Don’t miss it.
