Ah, Levi Miller; it takes something truly special to cause a
feedback loop between my willingness to promote child actors and my propensity
for labelling Australian actors as warning signals that a film they are
attached to will be garbage. To be fair, I doubt anyone could make “my first
lead role was in Pan” sound like a promising start to a career; even the
established actors in that thing barely escaped with their livelihoods intact.
But once you follow that up with the truly lacklustre follow-up to an Aussie
classic that is Red Dog: True Blue, things start looking a little dicey. I
mean, we’re supposed to be good at supporting our own burgeoning talent and
even we’re struggling with this kid.
Well, maybe today’s film will be different… and by that, I mean that I am
sincerely hoping that today’s film will be different
