Got to see Emerald City the other week. Top, top movie, gritty, funny and heartbreaking in equal measure. Loved the rawness of it and the brilliantly natural performances from all the cast. Haven’t felt as impacted by a movie in quite a while. 5 Stars from me…… Go see it !!!
Has to be…. Emerald City, of Course!
