A SAVAGE CHRISTMAS
A Savage Christmas brings a whole new twist to a dysfunctional family Christmas lunch.
For the Savage family, Christmas day is always held at their decadent regional Queenslander Brenda Savage, a resentful and ageing-in-denial ‘WAG’ wife, and James Savage Snr, a megalomaniac ex-football legend, are empty nesters (apart from Gucci-loving poodle Bubbles).
Daughter Davina (formerly David) is their adopted middle child who came out as trans three years ago and hasn’t seen the family since. First-born Jimmy Savage Jnr is a mentally ill aspiring rapper with a gambling debt and service weapon (he’s a police officer on probation). Rounding out the disappointments is daughter Leia, a stay-at-home mum and spiritual pill-popper, married to an absent real estate developer.
Davina arrives for Christmas lunch, introducing trans boyfriend (and veterinarian) Kane, to an awkward reception. Expecting her transition to be the focus, it’s instead overshadowed by family secrets and lies which threaten not only their lives – but another Christmas lunch.
A Savage Christmas was written and directed by Madeleine Dyer and Produced by Daniel Mulvihill and Ben McNeill, and features Thea Raveneau, an Aboriginal transgender Woman from Gunggari, Lardil and Kullilli mob, in her first major role alongside Max Jahufer and Rekha Ryan. The film also stars Darren Gilshenan, Helen Thomson, Ryan Morgan, David Roberts and Gary Sweet.

Only in cinema for a week and in no cinema near me. Was unable to attend. ☹️
Very entertaining. Good storyline. Funny.
Very amusing film, indicated by many laugh out loud moments being elicited from the audience. Manages to deal with numerous serious issues in a light hearted manner. Excellent cast including fine cameo roles. Deserves a much wider distribution in the lead up to Christmas.
Hilarious
