The Last Anniversary (2025 Samantha Strauss)

Based on Liane Moriarty's novel (though that isn't made at all clear in the credits?) There's a somewhat bewildering array of characters thrown at you in episode one but it all becomes clear. Characters behave oddly - perhaps that's just people? Good on its exploration of post-birth depression, enacted by Claude Scott-Mitchell. Teresa Palmer (ohhh - Mix Tape of course! It's the same production company, Binge) is the protagonist who inherits the dead woman's house (why is never made that clear). Miranda Richardson looks sullen most of the time. (Josephine Blazier as her young self.)  It's very nice to see Danielle Macdonald in something of a malicious role. Helen Thomson is the stupidly-named 'Enigma'. Plus Uli Latukefu and some other people.

6 x 45 minutes for Binge Productions Australia. Filmed in New South Wales.

Palmer was in The Fall Guy, Warm Bodies, Hacksaw Ridge, The Choice.

It's a bit wha'? Not sure I'd watch it again. somehow.
