Don't Show Mother

No idea why this was so poorly rated, because it's a good, solid, if sad, story. The acting was good, especially the lead. Perhaps they were expecting something like a shallow Hollywood thriller or horror flick. That's not this. This is a slow-burning, disturbing tale that kept my attention the entire time. Yes, it has some quirks in the cinematography and musical choices, but this is a very good dark family drama.

I consistently see a lot if Australian, UK, NZ, CA, etc. movies with ridiculously low scores and bad reviews, and all I can think of is the viewers must be middle Americans who only like American Hollywood, predictable, cookie-cutter movies.

That said, this is a sad, disturbing movie, so don't watch it if you are expecting something else.

This is the kind of genre that cant make blockbuster headlines or boxoffice glamour,made down under or over the water or in uzbekistan,there aint no recipie for success anyhow. this aussious just over feature length family drama is a tragic story of belief and disbelief, trust and hate,psychopatia versus sosiopathia, and it is summarised by total death and destruction in the end. it might reflect an avarage australian life,but i really hope it isnt. cast ok,shallow script,low grade cinematography , sets and locations. wanna keep your backpacker kids away from australia,show them this...
