Twin Rivers

By chance I came across The Legend of Ben Hall and fell in love with Matthew Holmes work and consequently was excited to read about the digitally remastered Twin Rivers. I had never seen this movie nor heard of it but immediately contributed a small amount to help this project along the way. I was not disappointed. The authenticity of the story, the settings, the costumes, hairstyling etc of the era were first class, well and truly above most current and past local TV and films. The local dance was a highlight as everyone and everything looked so perfect for the time. The cinematography of our beautiful southern gum tree country was extremely moving. I am obviously not a film reviewer but an oldie who loves her country and films that truly show the pearls of that great country. It is a real Australian story and not a fantasy like many modern films. This is a film, as is the Legend of Ben Hall, that deserves distribution Australian wide plus!

Very good story. What lets this picture down is poor editing as some things are not explained fully, some poor acting by the female lead, the obvious rivalry of brothers taken from "A River in Though it" , along with the narration. An ok movie where you won't regret watching but can't help think you could have watched something better.

The debut feature film from Matthew Holmes delivers a beautiful coming of age story that leaves you thinking of the decisions you make in your own journey.

Twin rivers is a very good movie. It is a story of the road taking place in outback Australia. This film has an entrancing mood, set by stunning locations, a good story and the chemistry of two brothers. Supporting cast characters are strong and bind a mixture of impressions that linger long after the credits have rolled. Although made on a shoe string budget Twin rivers remains a thoroughly enjoyable film throughout. This movie deserves a place among some of Australia's finest.

Was lovely to sit back and watch Twin Rivers. Another great Aussie film by Matthew Holmes.

Depression during 1939 was a terrible time for a lot of families and to see that Thomas had a dream that he wanted to pursue. Then having his brother, William, wanted to help his brother with his dream.

The struggles they both endured, plus finding love and jobs along the way.

This film captured me from the very start with amazing views of the country side, music, adventure, struggles etc.

A very emotional film which really pulls at your heart strings.

Excellent film! Can't wait to see what else Matthew Holmes produces. He has amazing talent and vision.
