One of the great 'Coming of Age' Films
By andy4766 (30 reviews) from Nottingham , 05 May 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
Noah Taylor is excellent as Danny Embling, a misfit loner in a small town in rural Australia. There are few films as good at capturing the heartsick feelings of first love that this film does and especially from the perspective of a boy.
Leone Carmen as Freya, the object of Danny's love/lust, is equally as good as Taylor playing a character that mixes strength, sweetness, fragility and impetuousness.
This is a gem of a film, a tale of first love but also a ghost story and a comedy about a social misfit, it's deserving of a wider audience- or at least one that feels there's more to tales of adolescence than the usual gross-out fare that Hollywood churns out.
Probably Duigan's best work, the follow-up (the second in an uncompleted trilogy) 'Flirting' is also recommended but this is the film that really hits home for me.- Was this review helpful to you?

Quirky drama in OZ
By a customer from Bolton , 30 Jan 2008Quirky tale of youngsters growing up in a small Australian town which hides a dark secret. Marvelous central performance by a young Noah Taylor, who is just as impressive in the sequel 'Flirting'- Was this review helpful to you?
