I'm a huge fan of Trent Dalton's books, so was very excited to learn that Boy Swallows Universe was made into a Netflix series. It's a big story with lots of twists and turns, so to adapt this to the screen could have been tricky. But it worked and the result is excellent.
Such a stellar cast! The performances of young Eli (Felix Cameron) and his brother Gus (Lee Tiger Halley) are brilliant. Both those young men deserve the highest of praise. Simon Baker as their dad...wow! Took me ages to realise who it was! Bryan Brown was perfect as Slim. Loved his gritty performance.
For any Trent Dalton fans, keep an eye out for his cameo appearance!
