  • dripping with atmosphere...

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from Ipswich, UK , 22 Jun 2007

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    ...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.

    really good subtle little drama. Intriguing and very well acted. Not your usual predictable plot. Explores some interesting ideas and moral questions

    Its a short that's been dragged out to be full length movie. There's an interesting story here but the film focuses on a plot branch line, rather than the main event. The film really lacks coherence and we lost interest 15mins in. Oh dear.

    Lovely landscape shots, acting good, but feel as if this film lacks a thrill or two. sometimes slow. Enjoy Marty.

  • 2hours too long!

    Rated - 0.5 stars

    Awful. Could have been cut down to half an hour and even then would have been overkill. Good acting was the only saving grace of this film.

    very good typical of austrailian films powerful brilliantly acted throuout seems to me that austrailian films have a nack of portraying real life and not hyping it up into a farce. i think theres something to learn by that for all movie producers
