Is This the Real World is a 2015 Australian film written and directed by Martin McKenna.

It was McKenna' first feature film and was heavily autobiographical. Filming took four weeks.[4]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

The Blurb called it "a slow burn of a film that takes a while to get a handle on and get into. I dare say many won’t have the patience or the inclination to stick with it. I should say though that I wasn’t one of them."[5]

Screen Hub wrote "although McKenna employs expressive aesthetic choices to partially temper the familiarity of his narrative — and to demonstrate his stylistic flair, perhaps most notably in Is This The Real World‘s book-ending shots — it’s the film’s layered performances that help it to carve out its own niche."[6]
