“Wildly funny and deeply moving in equal measure, it is a work rich in larrikin character but universal in its themes and appeal…”Full review here: http://screen-space.squarespace.com/reviews/2015/10/20/girl-asleep.html
**Greta in woodland!**This is a short Aussie film, kind of inspired by ‘Alice in Wonderland’, but originally based on the stage play of the same name. A teen comedy set in the 70s and revolved around a birthday party. So, newly moved into the town, Greta, finds hard to make friends, except a boy. Entering 15th, her family wants to throw a big birthday party inviting her new schoolmates, against her will. On the occasion, something goes wrong and the next minute, she’s in a strange place with strange events and people. Her adventure begins to return home and the party she had left behind in halfway which revealed in the rest of the film.
I thought it was a children’s and family film, but some of the references like relating to sex was a bold move. Though nothing was serious, if you are not considering the matter to the deep. It was just like any teen film, a simple topic. Creatively enough, but not impressive enough film. Those 70s were the plus point, especially for a comedy, that timeline is always so funny.
Decent performances and filmmaking, should have been improvised the screenplay. But my guess is the budget. It is a small cost film, but if they had better financing, surely they would have pulled it off so much better than this. Now it is an average coming-of-age comedy- fantasy, but worth a watch if you are not forcing yourself into it.

Engaging Film that took me on an adventure
A interesting, fun, awkward teen adventure that will take you on on adventure. Must see film for anyone who never quite fit in.It has quirkiness, 1970s throw back, girl drama and most importantly dad jokes. Gretel and Elliott will have you cheering from your seats that is OK to just be yourself.
The film is perfectly pitched for teenagers or for anyone who was slightly left of field in high school. So just about everyone!
Great to see Australian Films making its mark up with the big budget releases.
I hope to see more of Whittet’s plays adapted to the big screen.
A coming of age story with a difference.
This is a coming of age film with a difference. It starts off pretty typically: a teenage Greta on the brink of adulthood struggling to navigate her new world. Starting at a new school and having a 15th birthday party looming forced on her by her well-meaning but clueless mother, she’s faced with making some tough decisions regarding the relationships in her life. But after having a falling out with her new best friend at her party, the tone of the movie does a complete 180 as Greta falls asleep and enters a strange dreamland where she’s forced to confront her fears about growing up, say goodbye to her childhood and rethink how she views the people in her life. While I really enjoyed this film, I don’t think it was adapted from the play very well. The dialogue, direction, style of acting and even some of the special effects are much more suited to the theatre than the cinema. The actors for the most part do an excellent job, but they can’t quite shake the staginess of it. Despite it’s flaws, it’s easy to get lost in the fun, quirkiness of the film and I challenge you to not fall in love with the characters!
