01/20/2013 The premise here is very familiar: when siblings reunite for a family funeral, skeletons come out of the closet and must be dealt with. This movie is still utterly compelling thanks to a brilliant screenplay and soundtrack, superb acting and great direction by Rachel Perkins. Deborah Mailman is mesmerizing as Nona.
