Segredos do Passado

The story is very engaging. Two mysterious murders to be solved, and both of them cause ripples in the entire small town. How the past and present intertwine is captivating.

Good solid package. Acting, cinematography, story, balance, musical score... all come together seamlessly.

Only thing missing was a definitive ending. There is enough information to wrap things up 100%. But still, there was enough room for another scene or two just to round it off. If they spent 2 more minutes, I'd had rounded it off to an 8. Not enough credit given to Aussie movies these days. But not surprised really as the bulk are cheesy horrish crap.

This one is worth a watch.

I was expecting a lot more from The Dry, but unfortunately, it didn't deliver. While the Aussie outback setting is brilliant and Eric Bana gives a solid performance, the film as a whole just didn't hit the mark. The pacing was painfully slow, and the mystery felt more forced than intriguing. Bana's character should have been more compelling, but he just felt flat and emotionally distant. The plot's twists weren't particularly surprising and by the time everything came together I wasn't as invested as I should have been. It's got its moments but overall it's not the gripping crime thriller I was hoping for. If you're into slow-burn dramas you might enjoy it but it's a bit of a letdown for me.

Seriously guys I am a sucker for murder mysteries. No matter how bad the script is and even if it's predictable which in this movie I had no idea and couldn't see it coming at all. It's the way the direction and cinematography is done plus suspenseful music all goes well hand in hand to tell a beautiful story. The acting is fantastic from everyone especially Eric BANA. Maybe a bit long but kept me engaging the entire time. Great movie 👌👍

There is something uniquely Australian about this film. I think it's the overall country feel. A small country town, struggling with drought, small town syndrome and past mysteries that dog community members - especially one who has just returned after 20 years absence. A really good Australian ensemble hold together the intriguing storyline. And just when you decide it's bleeding obvious who the obsessive killer is and what links two crimes 20 years apart, they throw in some extra ingredients to throw the viewer off the scent. That's the part I actually quite enjoyed. I love this sort of movie that relies on great acting, a solid story and characters in an unforgiving outback setting. Really good work here.
