Enjoyably unexpected
By a customer from Swindon, England , 04 Feb 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
This only had 23 votes at my time of renting and (obviously) no review, so I thought I'd give it a chance, and am glad that I did.
The story opens and builds the main characters at a good pace, getting a good feel of the emotions that the family have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
There are a few points where this Australian movie throws up small, sublty unexpected events, and times where it doesn't follow what you'd predict from bigger, American productions. This keeps it feeling fresh and different without being pretentious, a good quality to have in a movie, in my opinion.
I can't say I was hugely blown away by the movie but I'm certainly glad I watched, as it stirs the emotions nicely and doesn't feel like it repeats what others have done before.
All in all it's just a good film, well acted, shot and edited.- Was this review helpful to you?

eye opener
By a customer , 02 Mar 2013I thought the film was great, it's defiantly an eye opener to what people have to go through. You warm to the characters quickly and Loved seeing the relationships grow between them. They could of made more on the love story aspect between the two characters but other than that, worth a watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

down to earth
By a customer , 23 Feb 2013A lovely film, really enjoyed it. Very aussie in the delivery, meaning it's down to earth, real and honest with none of the shmaltz you get with US films. Left me with a smile on my face.- Was this review helpful to you?

Delicate and straight up...nice!
By BBlossom (6 reviews) , 18 Jan 2013Very nice film, quite blunt in some ways, but I think that is because I'm not used to see people being so straight up in the UK. There were times where the actor's faces were so readable; so delicate and pure, it was beautiful to watch.- Was this review helpful to you?
