Not Quite Hollywood | Ratings & Reviews

"An incredibly energetic and merrily messed-up celebration of Australian B-movies."

Herald SunHerald Sun

"Not Quite Hollywood contains as many crazy characters and improbable events as its recent fictional counterparts, except that the people are real and the stories all true."

The AgeThe Age

"An entertaining and bizarre guide to the movie-making wave that respectable cinema history forgot..."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"An affectionate, rollicking guide to the drive-in classics of Australian filmmaking from the 1970s and '80s."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"It's all very foul, and completely entertaining."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"An enlightening, pleasurable peek into one of cinema's more enticing dark corners."

Time OutTime Out

"There is a remarkable story to be told of outlaws carving out their own slice of the industry with scant regard for decorum, personal safety or narrative coherence."

The TimesThe Times

"Not Quite Hollywood may be shallow, but that shallowness is in tune with its subject."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"The stories are so funny and engrossing that you don’t mind that the film often seems like an extended DVD feature..."

New York PostNew York Post

"A vividly illustrated catalogue of astonishing smut."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"The clips burn throughout this film with a tone as giddy as its subject."
