Em 4 Jay is a 2008 Australian drama film directed by Alkinos Tsilimidos. Starring Laura Gordon and Nick Barkla, the story follows the lives of two heroin addicts living in Melbourne's inner suburbs. Em 4 Jay premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival on 5 August 2006. [1]
The Age's Jim Schembri gave it two stars. He concludes "Em 4 Jay is a film made with conviction by all those involved, but the cast and crew never overcome a narrative that is dirge-like in its nihilistic predictability." [2] Leigh Paatsch of the Herald Sun gave it two and a half stars, saying "All in all, Em 4 Jay scraps it out for a dishonourable draw between daring us not to care and damning us for doing exactly that." [3] George Palathingal of the Sydney Morning Herald gave it three and a half stars. "Em 4 Jay doesn't give you a chance to get bored. It's not the future of Australian cinema or anything like that, but it leaves you both impressed and satisfied." [4] Variety's Russell Edwards gave it a positive review, writing "authenticity makes "Em 4 Jay" a Down Under low-budget triumph." [5]
