#SilverScreenBlack: 'Thunder Road' (2018)

(1hr 30mins)

Mario's rating: 4.5/5 (potato salads)

Fury Road: A cop crumbles and collapses as he loses all he has, but the power of Springsteen can bring anyone back from rock bottom.

👍 Dance rooms: Despite the $200,000 budget, the cast is priceless. Exceptional acting all round, including Nican Robinson as Officer Jim's best friend, Chelsea Edmundson as Jim's sister, and Macon Blair as the coolest primary school teacher in cinema.

👎 Court rooms: Nobody dances at a funeral. Nobody.

📽️ Favourite scene: The parent-teacher meeting. Never has hiding a pair of scissors been more appropriate, or more hysterical.

🥇 Best quote: "I can't make you leave. You've got to want more for yourself. But I can promise you it's not going to get much better living here."

🙁 Best depressing quote: "I lost my daughter today, and I did everything right!"

👨‍👧 Best parenting quote: "I haven't had a good night's sleep since 2009!"
