    dripping with atmosphere...

    ...and the atmosphere is a brooding, dark and menacing one set against a background of multlayered human dysfunction, social and domestic. So not exactly a feelgood movie. Having said that the film has tremendous realism -some excellently awkward short, bleak takes that portray the subtle nuances of humans relating badly and there is brilliant character development of the various flawed and damaged human beings as the plot unfolds. Many rather unflattering aspects of Australian culture and society are eloquently and sympathetically captured -certainly dispelling any rose tinted illusions one might have about the continent. First rate acting and very satisfying overall shape to the plot. Classy. Well crafted. Watch it.

The air is fresh. The modern world may as well not exist; here it's all about four men and the fish they can cook over an open flame. When Stewart finds the... Read more
