Digger: Movie Review
Few films in recent years have sparked as much online debate and discourse as Digger , for better or worse. Even though the movie has been out for less than two weeks, it already seems to be on a clear trajectory towards becoming a cult classic among movie lovers. Those who have seen it and fallen in love with it have been raving about the film, going so far as to describe it as one of the most important and extraordinary movies to have come out in recent years. On the other side of the debate, however, those who disliked the film have criticised it for being heavy-handed in its messaging, preachy in its themes and overly self-indulgent in its execution. One thing is for certain: Digger is about as polarising as a movie can get.
