Hollywood, by and large, portrays bars as the most fun and chummy places on earth.

However, I suspect most bartenders will relate more to director Kitty Green’s paralyzing movie “The Royal Hotel,” which screened at the Toronto International Film Festival this week.Running time: 91 minutes. Not yet rated.
It’s a chillingly spot-on depiction of how, in dank rooms filled with belligerent drunks, the line between a jolly time and a dangerous one is treacherously thin.

When Hanna’s credit card is denied at a club in Sydney, the pair realizes they need a new gig pronto, and are assigned to the faraway Royal Hotel.Some six hours out of town, the Royal is the only major business in the desolate area and is owned by a crude alcoholic named Billy (Hugo Weaving) and his up-to-here-with-him wife Carol (Ursula Yovich). Billy believes the customer is always right, even when they’re violently flipping over chairs or making gross moves on his employees.Funny that Weaving is in this movie, because it harkens back to his 1994 comedy “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,” in which three drag queens

Amy Nicholson “The Royal Hotel,” the setting of Kitty Green’s ulcer-inducing thriller, is a sun-baked bar in a rural Australian mining town surrounded by terrain so monotone that Canadian backpackers Hanna (Julia Garner) and Liv (Jessica Henwick) can’t keep their eyes open on the way in.

They’ve quite literally woken up in Oz, and they don’t know the people, the customs, the nicknames for the local ales, or the way out.

The recent appearance of the Princess Royal and the Prince and Princess of Wales on Mike Tindall's podcast 'The Good, the Bad and the Rugby' served to prove that the Royal Family are great fun behind closed doors and enjoy everything from playing beer pong to racing in barefoot to cold water swimming.This clear sense of fun and informality jars with claims made by Meghan Markle on her and Prince Harry's Netflix series that the Royal Family are standoffish in private.

In 2019, Australian documentary filmmaker Kitty Green made her first narrative movie, a piercing almost cinéma vérité-style movie focused on an office assistant in a Tribeca film company run by a not-so-thinly disguised Harvey Weinstein.
