“Downplaying the camp, gender-bending and fantastical elements of his 1993 debut feature, “Desperate Remedies,” Kiwi writer-helmer Stewart Main's overdue sophomore effort is a kidpic-of-sorts that ends up being just as peculiar.”
— Denis Harvey, Variety
“50 Ways of Saying Fabulous is a beautiful love story full of the anguish and pain of adolescence”
— Rima te Wiata

Set in 70’s New Zealand the film follows Billy, an overweight, effeminate 13 year-old boy, who with his cousin Lou, a tomboy star rugby player of the school, escapes into his imagination where his alter-ego Lana strives to save the universe with Brad (Lou). The film ticks over from the point of view of the children, who are the main protagonists, aligning the viewer directly with them and allows you into the world of Billy and Lou which is exempt from adults, but has the boundaries of adulthood all around them. This film works on so many levels and can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of their sexuality, who remembers the difficulties of growing up and going through puberty.
