Junk Male (2023)
8/10
certified cult classic
8 October 2023
Junk Male follows Hollywood Thompson, portrayed by Max Bennett Kelly with a confidence and ease, that you wouldn't know this was his first outing as an actor.

This short film, directed by Ella Purnell, a first time director is incredible. In the same way Kelly carries the movie with a strong supporting cast, including Purnell who portrays Dee, the girlfriend of Hollywood. And Alex Mills as Clauneck Rice who is Hollywood's sleazy manager.

This is a hero's journey with a surprise ending that will leave your jaw on the floor.

The soundtrack of the film is so good. Kelly's music from his EP is used throughout the short film. In a very clever way and fits so well with the moments in this movie.

It's just a great looking film, and you can tell how much passion, creativity and hard work was put into this short film. Based on Kelly's concept. Purnell brings this world to life. Capturing some great moments throughout that compliment the soundtrack so well.

It's just a really well done. One of the movie's strengths is the comedy sprinkled throughout at times absurd and perfectly fits into Hollywood's life.

Definitely looking forward to more collaborations between Kelly and Purnell.

Junk Male is free to view on Kelly's Youtube. Definitely give this one a watch or two. It's nineteen minutes long and it goes by so quickly. This left me wanting more.
