Although younger audiences may not notice, adults will realize the age discrepancy between the two main characters (almost seven years) Robertson and Butterfield are fine actors, but the filmmakers should cast someone as Tulsa who didn't look old enough to be Butterfield's concerned older sister - or chosen a male lead who didn't look quite so young. This sweet but not particularly out-of-this-world teen romance stars a talented ensemble, but it ultimately lacks the necessary sparks. If you want to watch a sci-fi romance film that has good messages for young viewers, you can't go wrong with "Edward Scissorhands". Their irresponsibility makes their relationship hardly one to strive for. I wouldn't recommend this to impressionable young people who would think the protagonists' actions are acceptable. I mean, I know sex doesn't guarantee pregnancy, but what kind of message is this film trying to send to young people? Many teenage parents once thought they were going to be in the percentage of people who have sex once without apparent consequences. The scene wasn't particularly graphic - it just had some implied nudity - but it left me thinking, "What?! I thought they were underage!

He is a chef in his early 30s, drifting after the unexpected death of his best friend. Marco (Flavio Parenti) is the male lead in her romantic drama, set in Udine in the north-east of Italy. "I read an article about his passion for Italy, and I thought, 'this is the kind of guy I need against Marco, who will bring out his ego, push his buttons'." "I wrote his character before I met him," says 40-year-old Melburnian Borgobello. He is also, in a roundabout way, a significant character in the first official Italian-Australian co-production. Ronnie Di Stasio, one of Australia's most famous (some might say infamous) restaurateurs played a major role in the feature film The Space Between, on-screen and off.ĭi Stasio is one of the half-dozen private sponsors who helped get the debut feature from Ruth Borgobello over the line.
