Australian Queer Cinema At It's Finest

I saw Sequin In A Blue Room on Prime, intrigued and a fan of both Australian and queer films I decided to watch it and I was not disappointed. This is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed both the story and the striking visuals. The colours and backgrounds gave the movie an unique feel and atmosphere. I also enjoyed the graphics of the text messaging and hook up sites. The actors were all brilliant and believable in their roles and the music was as lavish as the colours and backgrounds. I won't give away any of the plot but I will say this is also a cautionary tale about anonymous hook ups and the dangers of stalkers, casual sex and one night . I highly recommend this film for anyone that loves Aussie movies and queers films.

A film of little consequence

Despite its pretentious title and its flashy, and gimmicky images this film ends up not only with an improbable ending, but with an intrinsic message that I found harked back to ' warning ' films like ' Boy's Beware ' made in the middle of the last century. The essence of this is to be aware of strangers and especially older ones who are going to corrupt you. It seems that our lead actor, who in my opinion gave one of the most shallow performances on screen, had ants in his pants to begin with, and could barely think in his classroom scenes because of the need for sex. At home he reads graphic sex books ( could he read a book with just text I wondered ? ) and being apparently 16 has the mentality of a sex hungry thirteen year old. And of course big cities being big cities he finds plenty of men, young and old who lust and sometimes actually care about him. Social media comes in for a bit of a thrashing here, which is simplistic to say the least, and his youngish father is too dim to work out what this son of his is up to. For those who want to see yet more orgies there is a ludicrous one in a blue room where our young juvenile can not only indulge himself to the full, but watch others behind plastic screens. What he is wearing while indulging I leave to the viewer to find out, but it is as equally absurd as the rest of this film. A 1 is generous. In no way would I describe this as New Queer Cinema, and I just wonder why it was made and who its target audience is.

Appalling waste of time and someone's money

Right from the start, I was not drawn to the faggy, pouty main character Sequin. I did not find him attractive at all and wondered what the pulling power he was meant to have was generated from. It can't have been from his looks or demeanour.

Then we have the pathetic attempt by the writer and director to make a "modern" film that has text and chat messages appearing on screen. Well, duckies, this is old hat. It's so passé that it is even appearing in mainstream cop series - it's been done for years.

What was with the stupid sequin-covered halter top? It seemed more a device to give the film its name than an integral part of the personality of the lad or of the plot. Are we honestly meant to believe that Dad would never have found it? In addition, it must have stunk seeing as it was used for all of his sweaty sex encounters! How on earth would he ever have washed it? It was flimsy from the start - we saw how sequins fell off it and obsessed the old guy. "Sequin" could never have put this in a washing machine.

Do schools honestly let pupils text and surf during lessons? And the teacher says nothing. Come off it.

That this boring mess won awards, both voted for by audiences and critics, says a lot for the paucity of critical thought amongst the current gay scene of spectators and creatives. While, for example, South American cinema is racing ahead with taut, interesting and relevant dramas for the most part, the anglosphere seems unable at the moment (unlike a few years ago) to come up with anything interesting at all. I have had several disappointments recently. But this one is really the pits.
