The Royal Hotel

Director Kitty Green returns along with actor Julia Garner (The ASSISTANT) with the new thriller THE ROYAL HOTEL, about two young women who are put on the defensive when they arrive in a dusty mining town brimming with unfettered male aggression.

Hanna (Julie Garner) and Liv (Jessica Henwick) run out of money while backpacking through Australia and are forced work at The Royal Hotel, a bar in the outback. The rundown bar is filled nightly with rowdy men and the two you women are quickly confronted and expected to fit in and accept both minor and more challenging advances. While Liv is more accepting Hanna becomes worried about their safety. Tension continues to build at the bar as both women accept or challenge the status quo of bar.

Along with the strong performance from both leads, Hugo Weaving (Billy the drunk bar owner) is excellent both the protector of the women and the enabler of the male patrons. THE ROYAL HOTEL tears apart the dynamics of men and women in this suffocating drama thriller.
