While it's good that Lance eschews the conventional, the question becomes, what does he have in its place? I was left unsure of the answer.

Rated: 2.5/5

In the story of Kate's fractured relationship with her son is a tough and potentially tender film, but Beart and her pout get in the way.

My Mistress is a story of coming of age and sexual awakening, but there are times when it feels like little more than a sleazy take on a boy meets girl movie.

Rated: 2/5

The fact that My Mistress looks out of place, set as it is in suburban Queensland, doesn't detract from the director's ambition and obvious promise.

Debut director Stephen Lance makes it all look pretty enough, but the film is so staid, safe and polite it's often just plain dull. If only the film had a real taste for the transgressions it gingerly depicts, it could have been Australia's Blue Velvet.

Rated: 2/5

Most of the problems in My Mistress stem from the fact that it is steeped in clich.

all i can say is that she is seductively irresistible and somewhat weird.

Mrs Robinson meets Fifty Shades of Grey. A gripping tale of a young Queensland student's encounter with an attractive mother who works in the world of BDSM to make ends meet. If you have any hangups about female dominatrixes then you may not be able to extract the essence of what is an extremely well written, acted and filmed Australian movie.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

The film is very interesting and holds you from start to finish. But you don't understand why Maggie allows Charlie to get involved in her life even though he clearly has a constant sick obsession with chasing her.

Surprisingly fresh in approach while it unfolds; leads are extremely well cast and have good chemistry

An unfinished fairy tale. It could have been very good, but really needed much more work. Curious, clumsy, and thankfully never quite inappropriate. Not as morose as much Australian cinema is, but does have a go at times.

I really should have stopped watching this one. There is absolutely nothing romantic to see here.
