A girls' trip to Australia becomes a nightmare in Kitty Green's latest feminist thriller.
When two friends decide to go on a backpacking journey, the last place they expect to end up is in the middle of nowhere as bartenders serving the most women-thirsty and deranged men in town. Yet this is what Julia Garner and Jessica Henwick's Liv and Hanna, two Canadian friends looking to visit Australia and make a few bucks along the way, must endure in The Royal Hotel.
On the other end of the equation, Henwick's Liv seems like she is always on the back burner instead of center stage. Despite the two sharing most of the time on screen, the script doesn't challenge the actress to do more as Liv. The character doesn't have any depth, proving to be complacent with every sexist and horrific event that happens during their night shifts.
'The Royal Hotel' Gets It Right When It Comes to the Challenges Women Face in a Men's World Green was inspired by a documentary called Hotel Coolgardie when she and Oscar Redding came up with the script for this fictional story. At the center of this thriller lies the challenges that women face in various situations in their day-to-day lives, where they are put into a corner and are forced to give in.
