One More Shot is a 2025 Australian time-loop comedy directed by Nicholas Clifford, starring Emily Browning as a woman who gets a bottle's worth of second chances on New Year's Eve 1999. Filmed with warm, nostalgic energy, it delivers a night of do-overs, missteps and hard-won honesty inside a single, unforgettable party.
What is One More Shot about?
New Year's Eve, 1999. Minnie, a hospital anaesthesiologist, arrives at a millennium party hoping to win back her old flame Joe — and discovers a bottle of tequila with an impossible property: every shot sends her back to the start of the night. With only a bottle's worth of shots to work with, Minnie replays the evening again and again, polishing her lines, sidestepping disasters and trying to engineer the perfect moment. But each loop also exposes the struggles her friends have been hiding, and the more she manipulates the night, the clearer it becomes that the outcome she wants may not be the one she needs. The bottle is running low, midnight keeps coming, and every replay costs her something — but Minnie has to decide what she actually wants before the last shot is gone.
About the cast
Emily Browning, known for Sucker Punch and the series American Gods, carries the film as Minnie with an effervescent, quick-witted performance that keeps every loop fresh. Sean Keenan plays Joe, the ex she is determined to reclaim, while Ashley Zukerman appears as Rodney and Aisha Dee as Jenny. Pallavi Sharda, Hamish Michael and Anna McGahan round out a friend group whose own dramas surface across the repeating night.
Context & significance
Romantic comedies with a fantastical twist have always travelled well among Iranian diaspora viewers, who grew up on VHS copies of Hollywood and British comedies before satellite television and streaming opened the floodgates. One More Shot fits squarely in the tradition of time-loop stories — a lineage running from Groundhog Day through Palm Springs — that reward sharp writing and a charismatic lead over budget spectacle. The film premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in March 2025, and its 1999 setting adds a layer of end-of-century nostalgia that will land with anyone who remembers the millennium panic. For Persian-speaking viewers who enjoy witty, character-driven comedy without cultural gatekeeping, this is a straightforward watch. The film is in English with original audio; no Persian dubbing or subtitles are available on K-Time.
