About This Movie

Bad Boy Bubby is a wild ride, blending dark comedy with some serious themes. Rolf de Heer crafts a raw and gritty atmosphere, showcasing the strange world through Bubby's naive eyes. The pacing feels oddly fitting – it moves and lingers at the same time, echoing Bubby's chaotic transition from isolation to the confusion of society. The practical effects, particularly in the surreal sequences, add a layer of authenticity that’s hard to shake. Nicholas Hope's performance as Bubby is both disturbing and oddly endearing, pulling you into his warped reality. It's a film that straddles the line between absurdity and tragedy, making it stand out in the Australian cinema landscape.
