Hotel Coolgardie (Prime)

[MockneyReject]

Has anyone watched this?
I needed to distract myself from a family 'thing' last night. I came across this and it looked interesting, but it really, really bothered me. I'm not sure how much of that is because I'm feeling sad, anyway.
I was awake for ages, afterwards, reading reviews and, I think, hoping to find something to refute/contradict the ending.

It's a documentary/film about 2 young female backpackers, sent by an agency, to do a 3 month stint as bar staff at a remote pub in a small mining town in Western Australia. They had been robbed in Bali, so needed/wanted to earn enough money to buy a car and drive around Australia.

The thing I feel worst about is that I actually laughed, literally 'lol'd a few times.

I'd be really interested in what others made of it.

God, I've only got to 1 minute 54 seconds and I'm angry already!!!

Australian men are proper cunts

Generalisation much? Australian men are not cunts, how bloody dare you make a statement like that!

I watched Hotel Coolgardie as a result of reading this thread, so thanks for (sort of) recommending it, OP.

I thought that Lina was pretty smart when it came to fending off the drunk blokes. Much preferred her approach to that of Clio and Bex!

Australian men are generally on the lower social scale than Brits. HTH

You can't generalise about Australian men like that you get good and bad everywhere and the film showed some of the worst.
It's a pretty hard life doing what they do and there's fuck all else to do there other than drink.
It's probably why I liked Kalgoorlie so much as it has more options, especially when I'd spent so much time in places like Coolgardie.

Oh do fuck off. There are all kinds of men (and women) here, just like any other country.

Exactly always
