Boring

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I was recommended this film by a friend. I absolutely loved it. Very artistic. You can tell that the director has a great eye. I would recommend the film highly. The soundtrack is great, an dif you love trance or rave then you will be a huge fan. abbie cornish is also in this film. i think it was one of her first films and now she has broken out in the American market. it looks like this is the film that started her career. she looks so young in it. i am really interested to see what else this director will have coming out. i like his style and can see that he has a unique way of telling a story. does anyone know any updates on what the director is doing nedxt?

This is an interesting and almost rewarding film, and like PARTY MONSTER or GO and parts of BLURRED, a difficult genre of music film (rave, road trip or dance party) to get on screen intact with the same feeling and experience as having really been there. Dan Spielman along with the hilarious and talented Nathan Phillips has roles under presented/directed and as a result one wishes we had the mature producing talent in Oz to properly see these young actors offered genuinely strong and interesting parts. And make the best of them. However, ONE PERFECT DAY is about as successful as one could wish for under the Oz film production circumstances. Unlike DECK DOGZ, UNDER THE RADAR, GARAGE DAYS, THUNDERSTRUCK or the worst offender of all: YOU AND YOUR STUPID MATE, (also unfortunately somehow starring young Nathan) OPD does rise above the pack with a genuinely compelling idea, that this is a young musician on a journey to find his place in the music scene and dance party underworld. It seems actually genuine in its romantic music ideas and offers Spielman a chance to be a character worth respect and attention. the music soundtrack is very good and as seen in a big cinema with an excellent sound system lifts the experience more than one would expect. Sadly like all those other titles above this film sank without trace, a fate undeserved but unfortunately in the public's eyes, guilty by association. Bit like Nathan Phillips' career. Somene from the USA needs to rescue this actor before he just ends up having to get a job in a shop. Spielman looks not unlike excellent DIRTY DEEDS actor Sam Worthington (also seen in the verbally clumsy tap dance musical BOOTMEN).. So much potential talent all at the mercy of crap producers and directors.

I saw this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival and it was amazing!!! Everyone gave a standing ovation to OPD. I cant wait till it releases over here in the US so I can see it again. The acting was incredible. OPD will surely make you laugh and cry hysterically. 3 THUMBS UP!!! OPD will make you think twice about taking drugs. Excellent one of the best foreign movies I ever seen! The music is phenomenal!! I cant wait till it comes out over here in the US so people would take out sometime out of their lives to see such an amazing movie worth watching and worth the money! I think if it is released over here soon I think a lot of people will be touched by this movie and Think Twice! WAY TO GO OPD!!!

O.K, this is no cinematic great but firstly (I know this may be hard for some mainstream Americans) but you have to compare this movie to other Australian productions. In other words firstly ignore the buckets of trash we're exposed to from our movie industry.. And compare with standout exceptions like e.g Lantana,Goddess of 1967', etc. This movie I can say did captivate me emotionally, aurally and visually. Didn't sit well with the main character sister's drug death, needed greater depth and perception in reality. I really didn't know anything about the film before I sat down (except dance music) so I was surprised by the level of dramatic elements in it.. Quite possibly "Go" dulled my radar??? A overly fun film this isn't but hey I'm proud of this particular level of achievement for an Aussie film.
