Theatrical report
Three blind mice is a modest film of the kind that young men create only after they've done their thing with a crime caper. It's a drama but it's a blokes' drama. There are relationships but they're all fucked. Marriage is something to avoid. Alcohol is something to overdo. Sex had better be available or there'll be trouble. Throw in some dirty jokes, a small adventure and a good fight and you've got the perfect night out.
The Australia, comedy, drama movie Three blind mice is directed by Matthew Newton and stars Ewen Leslie, Toby Schmitz, Matthew Newton.
