Sweet River

Here we have a drama film that includes a supernatural subplot which, unfortunately, doesn't lend as much to the film as it could have. It's a pity because I think it could have had the potential to be a genuinely spooky movie, but the real message within is a story about grief and loss, not things that go bump in the night. I watched till the end hoping for dramatic revelations or a great twist that made it worth the effort, but I was disappointed.

The writing of this film lets it down. It's like a car that keeps trying to get up the hill but never gets there. It feels like a first draft script that needed to get pushed to a higher level, which is a shame, because you can tell everyone did their best with what they had.

This movie went nowhere, massive anticlimax. Was extremely slow and had a lot of unnecessary scenes thrown in. Really disappointed since I had high hopes due to the acting.

Slow, boring film with no horror, scares, suspense or thrills. A mysterious British woman returns to a Northern New South Wales town searching to find out what happpened to her missing child. No one in the town recognises her except for the local town cop? A cast of Australian TV actors star with a Rebecca Gibney look a like British actress in this waste of a film budget and a good location.

I don't understand all the negative reviews. It's not the best movie I've ever seen but I've seen a lot worse. The acting was quite good I thought for a lot of less known actors. It kept me guessing all the way through and the finish pieces it all together.
