Ava B The movie was NOTHING like the original novel. With the great cast it has, it's sad to see the talents go to waste on the poorly written script. The movie jumps to different plot points randomly and out of order making it hard to understand at times, and it didn't help that the characters were changed so much that they would be unrecognisable if it weren't for their names. If you haven't read the book then you might enjoy this movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/23 Full Review wayne m The story is all over the place and covers nothing interesting. I care about none of its shallow characters with their soap opera dialogue and the scenes go way too long. There's an interesting story in there somewhere, but this movie misses it. It's full of lot's of little events, revealed "secrets" that only add up to a desire to fast-forward. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Too Many Stories Being Divulged Upon All At Once. The One Main Theme Pertaining To Anything Of Meaning Is That Distrust Of What We Ourselves Don't Connect With Or Understand. One's Race & Culture Being A Driver Of These Distrustful Thoughts. At Least There Is A Transition For Closure At The End Of The Story, As Some Loose Ends Are All Tied Up Rather Quickly, How Well This Works Is Up To Whom Is Watching, Some Will Forgive The Quick Haphazard Finish, Because They Enjoyed One Part Or Another.. Or A Particular Character They Connected With. I Didn't Get All That Much Out Of It. But It Was There Was Some Nice Australian Scenery. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed the book, but the film has lost all the humour and heart. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member After reading the novel I was so excited to watch the screenplay. However, I would like to apologise to Craig Silvey on behalf of this abomination of his work. Not even Hugo Weaving and Toni Collette could save this incoherent, awkward, half baked soap opera which misses any important emotional depth, structure or themes from the source material. What a waste of 5 million dollars and a world class cast. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I never lose Dave.. I never lose...
