Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

maclock This is a fantastic Australian movie. If you can catch it on the big screen, then I'd encourage you to take it in. Strongly recommended.

mifunesamurai A wonderfully slow paced movie that gives you time to chew on the underlying fat of what is so screwed up with the Aussie outback political culture. Ivan Sen does not leave anything out, touching on the Stolen Generation, the rape and pillage by mining companies on sacred land, the destruction and disintegration of the Indigenous culture, and even the exploitation in the sex slave trade. It is ugly, almost revisiting that icon Australian movie, WAKE IN FRIGHT.It sometimes takes an outsider to see what is so wrong with a country, as Ted Kotcheff did with Wake In Fright, Louis Malle with Alamo Bay and Wim Wenders with almost everything he made in America. But Australia has its very own soul searching local filmmaker in Ivan Sen, who peels away those layers a bit at a time, with every layer revealing the true ugliness of this country.The plus side was the technical aspect, with the cinematography being the added bonus, perfectly capturing the mood in the isolated remote locations. Once again that was superbly handled by the director himself, who also had a hand in the music.If you are searching for a fast paced action thriller, than keep away from this movie. But if you desire to be challenged and mentally stimulated without having topics shoved down your throat, than seek this movie out, and enjoy what it has to offer.

A_Different_Drummer Goldstone essentially picks up where Mystery Road left off.Which is wonderful for the viewer, because Mystery Road is one of my favourite films, I am a huge fan of writer/director Ivan Sen, and Aaron Pedersen's "aboriginal detective" is one of my favourite all time film characters.What makes these films so special, aside from superb writing, acting, and direction? Cinematography --- as I said in my review of Mystery Road, the country itself is the unbilled co-star and the aerial shots are to die for.The themes. Sen is too good a writer to avoid core underlying themes of morality, good and evil, greed and kindness. Even when you think you are just watching a sunset, you realize there are other things going on.Which brings us to the true genius of this writer/director -- in the opinion of this reviewer, Sen manages to construct the tone and mood of a 1940s film noire in 21st century Australia, in daylight, and in full colour.If you think that is easy to do .. try it some time.Recommended.Don't be shy -- give it a try.

ioan-fantanaru I watched this splendid film. The message is even more beautiful: Do not wait for events to happen in order to change yourself. that just in a certain point of your life ... you have to love someone, you have co care ... to realize that. And get away with life !Some of the best Quote of the movie: "You know, growing up out here in the bush. I wouldn't change it for anything. And I mean anything.But sometimes I can't help but.. I get this feeling that...I could't been...Or I should't been...Something more than...What I turned out. I tell myself not to listen. It's just this...Small piece inside...That's crying out to be me."
