At this year’s Melbourne International Film Festival (or MIFF, as I’ve reluctantly had to start calling it), we caught some of the first showings of the Australian Stan original film One More Shot. Set on New Year’s Eve 1999, the story follows Minnie (Emily Browning) who discovers a bottle of time travelling tequila that sends her back to the start of the night with every shot, giving her only a bottle’s worth of chances to reshape the course of her millennium. Alongside Browning, the cast features Ashley Zuckerman and an actor who looks a lot like Lockie Leonard, all delivering strong central performances. The clever and entertaining script offers plenty of quality moments, including one scene that had the whole cinema in hysterics. With its unique take on the Groundhog Day style concept and a perfect runtime, One More Shot kept us hooked from start to finish. After the review, we dive into our own lives and debate which single day we would each choose to relive in a loop.
