Overview
1975: A 200-ton blue whale gets washed up on a local beach and the kids think it’s the biggest thing that’s ever happened in Australia. Behind closed doors, the Mums and Dads of a quiet suburban street are going to celebrate in their own special way, by joining the sexual revolution and throwing a wife-swapping key party. And like the rotting whale, it’s all about to go spectacularly wrong.
This movie was really an unexpected gem. In a way it felt like a more modern and subtle version of Heathers. Much of the film was about trying to navigate the teen years while idiocy abounds. Unlike other movies in this space it didn’t beat you over the head with it. It was just the right amounts of quirky and edgy.
