The Clinic Review
Just saw Tabrett's new movie "The Clinic" In Sydney. Here is my review.
If you don't know what the movie is about, here is a quick breakdown.
Pregnant Beth (Tabrett) and her fiance stop at a seedy motel. Her fiance goes out to get some food and returns to find Beth gone, nowhere to be found. Beth wakes up in a tub of ice with her baby removed from her and thus starts the story of her survival and finding out what the hell is going on.
I personally loved the movie, it was really well done in a way where you feel for the characters especially Beth, she is heartbreaking as a mother trying to find her baby. Tabrett plays this role flawlessly. Her performance blew me away. I have only ever seen her as the Badass Mord'Sith, this role is at the complete opposite end of the acting spectrum. You believe she is going through an ordeal and you believe that she will stop at nothing to get her baby back. She was truly amazing, I cannot say enough good things about her performance, she will go far in this business. As far as the chemistry between Andy and Tabrett, it was totally there, you believed they were totally in love with each other.
The movie itself was very well done, in a way where it was creepy but not gory. The characters were drawn well, you knew everyone's personalty right off the bat and you knew exactly what was going on. I love horror movies but lately they have been dreadful, this movie redeems this genre and it is Australian which is even better, being Australian myself I really loved how well this movie was done. The mystery surrounding the story was done in a way where you don't ask yourself "Whats going on"? It left you with enough to wet your appetite but to not know everything.
The ending was great, I have a real issue with endings of movies cause most endings are bullshit but the twist in this movie I did not see coming and complimented the movie as a whole quite nicely.
There were a few parts, that were quite heart pumping these were due to Tabrett's convincing performance. A particular part near the end of the movie was really un-nerving. When you see it you should know what I am talking about. There was only one bit which I absolutely hated and wondered why they effing did that!
Alright so the nudity scene people are talking about. YES Tabrett is naked. Yes you see pretty much everything but she has a hot body so meh. Did I mention the awesomeness of Tabrett's performance? Sorry but I just cannot get over how great she is in this!
Tabrett was not there. I would have liked to have told her how great her performance was. She was at the Melbourne screening, why not the Sydney one? I had a gift for her from the Seeker Fandom, now I dunno what imma do with it!. I think the producer or director was sitting in front of me cause he was counting how many people were in the cinema and yes it was pretty much full. Also after the movie I was talking about how Tabrett is my girl crush and how awesome she is and his head was turned as in listening to what I was saying and he was smiling. OR it could have been some random weirdo dude....
If I were to give it a rating out of 10 it would be an 8.5
