Children of the Revolution

About This Movie

Children of the Revolution has this quirky blend of comedy and drama that really catches you off guard. The film plays with the absurdity of political blame, centering on this guy, played by Richard Roxburgh, who finds himself tangled in the mess of 90s Australia. His mother, brilliantly portrayed by Judy Davis, adds layers to the narrative with her history of communism and a flirtation with Stalin. The pacing is a bit unusual—sometimes it lingers, other times it races, but that disjointed feel really fits the theme of a family caught in the whirlwind of political history. The performances are solid; Roxburgh and Davis have a compelling dynamic that feels genuine and messy, much like real family life. Plus, the practical effects and period settings evoke a certain nostalgic vibe that adds to the overall atmosphere.
