The Australian filmmaker adapted a documentary into an intense outback thriller starring Julia Garner and Jessica Henwick as two women working at a remote pub.

Two young women with backpacks make their way down a deserted road toward a remote pub in the Australian outback, where they have been contracted to work for a few weeks. Most movie fans will think they know what’s going to happen next. The new film “The Royal Hotel,” directed and co-written by Kitty Green, looks to subvert those expectations at every turn. Americans Hanna and Liv have been hiking through Australia and have run out of money. They agree to work in a bar in a rural mining town.

I can mention that it made me feel uncomfortable, but that space that you sit in often as a woman, where you're kind of like, 'Oof, I don't know about this,' is kind of where the film exists. I'm not sure if I'm in trouble here. It seems fine, and it seems safe, but I don't know if I trust this person.
