Clearer storytelling would bring into focus the various aspects of the film that are scattered throughout with nothing to glue them together. Go to Full Review

07/27/2014 Quite an interesting, small Australian thriller. I remember seeing the poster in film-ink, and then never heard a thing about it again until it showed up on free to air TV recently. Good cast and interesting premise. Asher Keddie is particularly effective in her small role. A lot remains unanswered and the ending is odd, but interesting movie. Glad I finally had a chance to see it. See more 03/24/2014 a lot of talented people work on movies that aren't that great. The 'making of' was better than the actual - sorry :-( See more inta k @intuciic 04/25/2013 very very strange movie which didnt make any sense See more 07/01/2012 Dean O'Flaherty's deliciously photographed and fascinating film about manipulation and paranoia, primarily seen through the eyes of an alienated youth, has a lot of layers to it, never allowing its audience to divert their attention from where it should be, with strong performances from Sebastian Gregory, Tahyna Tozzi, Aaron Jeffery and Socratis Otto pushing things forward. Not since 'Lantana' (2001) has an Australian suburban drama delivered such a magnificent punch! See more 01/29/2012 Started off intriguing and atmospheric, but became a stupid melodramatic nonsensical mess by the end. Blah. See more 01/21/2012 A nice little Aussie import, part thriller, part coming of age all suburbia with a bit of blue velvet. The pacing is a bit slow and some of the subplots seem unnecessary and lead nowhere but the ending is worth it and the main character though young pulls off his role perfectly.
