Movie review - "Hot Mess" (2019) **1/2

Sweet low budget Australian comedy about a young woman who wants to be a playwright, lives at home, works as a cleaner, gets distracted by a boy who might be her deliverance. Some funny scenes and naturalistic playing. I did feel her school friend was more of a hot mess - sleeping with her boss and hooking up with randoms at first opportunity. The lead felt more like a slack mess.

aSarah Gaul has a lovely singing voice and I would've liked to have heard more. Marshall Campbell has an easy going masculinity that is very winning - others in the cast are good too.
