...one of those irritating local films in which all the Australian actors adopt American accents.

The Age (Australia)

This amateurish local try at a fantasy for teenagers is a transparently bad movie, but bad in a disorientating, vaguely psychedelic way, obeying laws peculiarly its own.

Rated: 1.5/5

Harmony is a miserable experience without a speck of momentum or originality.

At least it was only and hour and a half of my time wasted. The concept had potential, but the execution was...hacking. From the start the film was all over the place; the disjoined seemingly unrelated scenes lent a curiosity as to how the filmmaker would tie it all together, but to acheive such a task requires meticulous attention to detail and continuity - a characteristic completed void from the script or film. The dialogue was poorly written, giving little credibility to the intensity of emotion required to buy into the premise of the film. The characters themselves felt like a conceptual artist's broad stroked painting, leaving the viewer with an intellectual understanding of what they're supposed to feel but having little to no connection or impact. Most scenes were an extreme exaggeration (bordering on farce) of the concept of the emotion the filmmaker was trying evoke, but without the nuanced "daily life" scenes, it came across as a high-frequency flat performance - when everything is urgent and important, nothing is urgent and important. Overall the film was disjointed enough to be confusing and left this viewer feeling as though the filming ended before it was complete - which may actually be the case given the circumstances around the lead actress.
