Ellie and Abbie (and Ellie's Dead Aunt)

Ellie and Abbie (and Ellie's Dead Aunt) (2020) is an Australian romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. School captain Ellie has a hopeless crush on her rebellious classmate Abbie and just wants to ask her to the year 12 formal. Then her late aunt Tara turns up — dead, but suddenly very present.

Convinced she's back to serve as a fairy godmother, Tara hands out dating tips drawn from her years as an out lesbian in the 1980s, most of them spectacularly off the mark. Caught between a meddling ghost and her own nerves, Ellie has to figure out how to actually say what she feels. Monica Zanetti's debut runs a tidy 83 minutes and skips the usual coming-out heaviness for something lighter. Sophie Hawkshaw, Zoe Terakes and Marta Dusseldorp lead. Stream the full movie on iFILM.
