The Royal Hotel
The Royal Hotel
After running out of money while backpacking in a tiny, male-dominated town in the Australian outback, two friends resort to a working holiday at the Royal Hotel. When the locals' behavior starts crossing the line, the girls find themselves trapped in an unnerving situation that grows rapidly out of their control.

Love the idea of a Kitty Green-Julia Garner spiritual trilogy. While The Assistant brilliantly simmers in the micro-aggressions of a male dominated work environment, The Royal Hotel deals much more in the macro-aggressions (so to speak). Green again expertly builds this terrifying atmosphere where it truly feels like there’s no place that’s safe. (Maybe there isn’t). Read that Green would like to “blow it up a little bit” for the third one…….. Julia Garner, you better hold on to your f🤩king hat.
