The new thriller by filmmaker Kitty Green, also of 2019's 'The Assistant,' is equally unsettling, and co-stars Julia Garner, Jessica Henwick and Hugo Weaving.
The walls are scabbed. The strip lighting is dingy. The decor is cheap: liquor bottles and dead snakes pickled in jars. Kitty Green’s queasily gripping 'The Royal Hotel' is set in a location neither regal nor much of a hotel. But if the grandiose name of this crummy dive — an isolated outback bar catering to the scattered, largely male regional mining community — has ever attracted so much as an ironic comment, it was a long time ago and no one can be bothered to make that joke anymore.
Initially, she prevails, so when the Brits leave in a haze of smashed bottles and drunken sex, Liv and Hanna have to face the next night without them absorbing any of the 'male attention' they'd been warned about back in Sydney.
