The movie was very well done, telling a story about two tragic figures in life. One tragic tale by choice and one by nature. Oddly enough the story-line that ultimately led to the young kidnappers / friends final outcome of the film felt not well thought out and forced. And, the dialogue reflected that. Pace of the movie goes along nicely then during the Police scenes something seems off on each one of them. Acting between the young and old friend are the hit of this film. Somewhere between a 6-7 on this film for me.
A great drinking game movie where you can spot all the period errors and mistakes from Australian currency nominations, medical prescription, electronics, food products, fashion, etc. One minute we are in the 1980s next minute we jump 2020. And from my pre-review research, there are some filming bloopers too. But ignoring the opportunity for a drinking game, this is absolutely beautiful movie that still deserves a 9/10. The story is heartwarming, the acting by newcommers is brilliant, and the scenic filmology is epic. I had to research to see if this was a fictional or non-fictional story and I don't think it is the latter. Great film, shame about the obvious historical inaccurrencies or lazy errors. Still worth a watch. Still a great and beautiful Aussie road trip story.
A lovely film. A lot of reviews are giving it 10, maybe for the films heart.
It took me on a journey and really showcased Australian landscape. Definitely need more films like this at the moment.
I loved this film. Felt a little like the film Perfect World with Kevin Costner. Great acting by the little girl and teen boy. The story kept me engaged. It was unique and interesting. This little Indie film is worth watching and you till leave you reflecting upon its themes for a few days. It certainly moved me.
I recently watched this as a mate back home in Australia said to watch. Look its not perfect but I must admit, I had lost faith in low budget Aussie films until I saw this. The acting between the leads is a real winner here. It would get a perfect ten, however my only critique is the back story on the cops brother is a bit weak. The end really had me thinking about what matters most to me for days. If you like quirky road trip films this one is for you.
