The Xrossing

The Xrossing in Review

I had the privilege of seeing The Xrossing twice and on both occasions I was deeply moved by both the thought provoking story and the outstanding performances of the cast. This is a significant film for our times and I believe will be well received internationally.

The opening scenes introduce the audience to a landscape familiar to Perth residents, revealing the unique beauty of the eastern metropolitan bushland and historical landmarks . Nestled within the story begins. A murder of a young girl has the community talking and reactive opinions are quickly being formed. Meeting the three young characters, you are quickly drawn into their situation as they process what has happened to their friend and how they deal with this new reality.

But there is so much more to this film. This story will take you back to when our youthful personas emerged to meet life's journey and remember how with only a pocket full of experience, we navigated our Xrossings with the people and circumstances that awaited us.

This is a must see film so make sure you experience The Xrossing for yourself.

Great movie. Loved seeing parts of Swan View in it, actors did an amazing job and it had me on my seat intrigued to find out how it would all pan out. I am wondering how we can see it again or have our friends watch it that missed it?

What a great Aussie film. Sad and hopeful at the same time.

I'm still processing this outstanding film... I literally walked out of the theatre speechless... in a good way! Beautifully shot showcasing our stunning corner of the world, The Xrossing certainly lived up to all the hype. The acting, production and script were absolutely flawless, not at all reflective of its limited production budget. Though very confronting at times, the beauty of the cinematography coupled with the acting and the script, resulted in a very thought provoking film with an important message.

An incredible achievement for all of those involved in producing this superb film. Highly recommend!

A great Australian movie by a very talented film maker. I enjoyed this movie for a number of reasons, one of which was the beautiful bushland scenes in the hills of Perth.

However, scenery alone is not enough to keep the viewer glued to the seat in anticipation, and in this regard the film really came through in so many ways.

To pick a favourite actor is difficult but I was moved by the Indigenous character played by Kelton Pell.

The actors played their roles to perfection bringing in all the emotions, drama, twists and turns that keeps you waiting for the next move. Bravo to the film maker, to the actors and to all who helped bring this fine film to the cinema! Highly recommended.
