One of John Waters' faves of 2024, this modern day slacker Sex and the City from writer/director/star Alexi Wasser finally hits Melbourne
A coming of age story about a woman who should have already come of age, Messy follows brutally self-aware, promiscuous love addict Stella Fox, as she moves to New York following a devastating break-up, and pursues disappointing romantic dalliances over the course of a summer.
A rare throwback to a golden age of '90s independent cinema with a stellar supporting cast, including Ione Sky (Say Anything), Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley), Jack Kilmer (Lords of Chaos). Adam Goldberg (2 Days in Paris), and Kareem Rahim (host of Subway Takes), Messy is a raunchy, horny mumblecore triumph.

"Crazy world we live in that this exemplary and hilariously crowdpleasing rom-com didn't premiere at like SXSW or Sundance where any traditional distributor or streamer would look at it and be like -- "yep we know how to market this and people will enjoy it. Let's buy it." And I still hope that happens!" - Eugene Kotlyarenko, Letterboxd
