Disclosure

A difficult topic or theme covered in this film. Very apt in the portrayal of the network of emotions, and choices of numerous people involved. Great actors and clean, crisp sound and visuals. Highly recommend

The limited characters and dependence on back and forth dialogue make this far more like a play than a film, with the corresponding static quality of action as opposed to lively speech. A host of issues are touched on and secrets are revealed, betrayed, bounced around... To what ultimate effect? Ah. That will depend on the viewer. Personally I got irritated at them all and didn't really feel like I ended up anywhere.

Brilliantly written, apart from, for me, the ending. A powerful and challenging drama to experience. More memorable than standard Hollywood CGI action blockbusters for example, for the heavy implications each character falls under, and the tight meaningful storyline.

Clever utilisation of a low budget. It has the feel of an intense play. The story winds us through increasingly disturbing human interactions. The acting, casting and direction, all great.

The ending I didn't like. It left things too unresolved. You have no idea which characters will be left on top. Literally as open ending as it could be. Some will feel satisfied by this. We must imagine our own ending if we want one. Or is the lack of resolution an anti-ending ending?

Everything apart from the last minute is brilliant.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The acting was strong and it was refreshing to watch something that was not over produced. I don't know if I would class it as a typical thriller but it did have me held in suspense from start to finish. I loved the slow build at the beginning and the bushland setting helped me feel deeply the life of Australians in their bushfire prone environment. The theme of this film is timely. Pedophelia in regards to children's relationships with other children and the complicated relationships between adult friends and that of their children. Many of us know this challenge and this movie hits it head on. People, power with a dash of politics and a whole lot of suspense and emotion makes for a great film.

Great character Drama, clever use use of a small budget. Really enjoyable. Geraldine Hakewill as always is excellent.
