True History of the Kelly Gang

FILM4 11.20PM - 1.55AM ★★★★

PERIOD BIOPIC Director Justin Kurzel’s take on the infamous Aussie outlaw Ned Kelly is a ferocious biopic. Starting with the Irish Kelly family’s abuse at the hand of the English in the mid-1800s, the movie weaves its way to what made Ned the bandit he became. George Mackay is superb as Ned, but it’s Essie Davis as his mum who towers over all. Support includes Russell

Crowe, Charlie Hunnam and Nicholas Hoult. Dir: Justin Kurzel 2019, 18
