Considering the shitstorm currently surrounding J.K. Rowling
(and by extension the Harry Potter franchise), part of me really wanted to give
this a go. A throwback to first-wave ‘magical Earth hero saving a mystical
land’ YA storytelling, and made in my own backyard to boot (not literally,
although given the production values of these Aussie indie efforts, you’d be
forgiven for assuming so), this definitely piqued my interest. And while
there’s definitely some good to it, it’s also incredibly muddled.
