Latecomers, Directed by Madeleine Gottlieb, Receives Unwavering Critical Acclaim
Cameron’s would like to congratulate Madeleine Gottlieb on the release of Latecomers!
The 6 x 10-minute digital series, currently streaming in full on SBS OnDemand, follows two strangers with cerebral palsy, Frank (Thompson) and Sarah (Diviney). After watching their carers hook up at a bar, Frank and Sarah decide to explore their own relationships with sex, and each other.
Since its release over the weekend, the series has garnered unanimous praise from critics and audiences.

“The romcom is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking” – Frankie Magazine
“The beauty of LATECOMERS is that it’s written by people with cerebral palsy and is about them too. Oh and the sex scenes are history in the making.” – Junkee
