Road to Nhill

I loved this movie because I grew up in a country town not far from Nhill.

The story starts out with 4 friends who have a car accident on the way to lawn bowls. The town responds with the usual, "she'll be right, mate" attitude that I remember with fond affection.

The acting is brilliant as it captures the various characters that we all remember.

"The road to Nhill" is a beautifully shot and acted piece of Australian cinema. But it is not everyone's cup of tea. My friend who grew up in Nhill said it reminded him of all the reasons he moved to the city.

Life in an Australian town starts slow and by afternoon tea time comes to a complete stop. Loved it!

This films quietly shouts the word 'laconic'.

A small country town where nothing much happens, and this film takes us right along with the 'action'...except the action is in slow motion and the characterisations, are slowly and beautifully formed.

If you're not in a hurry for a good time, and really DO enjoy seeing paint dry...this is for you.

I like watching paint dry. The colour darkens and the true character emerges.

I first saw this film while I was staying for a time in Australia and fell in love with it. I found it to be highly entertaining and fascinating. If you love the people, the lifestyle, and the slower pace of Australian small towns (as I do), then you should love this movie.

The characterizations are perfect and the acting is charming! This film is a masterpiece at capturing a slice of life! While it is not a "high budget" mega film, it does something that most films can't do. It captures the charm and appeal of life in small towns, and presents it in such a way that we can relate to the situation and story, and actually feel like we are there watching the events unfold.

If I could find a copy of this film for myself, I would gladly buy it and add it to my personal collection!

when i saw this movie at the cinema with my family i nearly fell asleep it was so bad! i could never sit through it again ever. its a terrible movie that should be taken off the shelves.

I'll keep it simple: this movie sucks. Its supposedly a comedy but I watched it with my family and we all sat stone-faced through the entire thing, even my dad, who laughs at anything even remotely funny. Not once did this movie even achieve a smile. If you are thinking of watching this utter trash, dont.
