    Terrrible Acting

    The story is ok, the scenery is nice, but the acting is wooden and completely unbelievable.

    As much as I love to support Australian cinema, this movie is a 3 at best.

    Don't believe the high scores, clearly made by people connected to the movie.

    Good weekend movie

    The Dunes literally gave me chills. The actor playing William Night was so convincing, every time he came on the screen I was silent. Brilliant performances by all involved and I'd watch again when I have friends over. A good weekend movie.

    Martin Copping great

    Funny how people complain about "terrible acting" when people arent "acting", they re just doing the hardest thing of all...being natural and present before the camera. Guess we get so used to what's actually over acting we dont see the real skill of just being.

    You can see the difference as soon as the cops arrive, both terrible, a phoney feeling presence/ " acting a part" This is a solid offering really enjoyed it.

    Attending police scene just EMBARRASSING !

    My first EVER review here as I think it's all to easy to criticise another person's art.

    However, I felt compelled to here as I'm tired of seeing Australian talent & great foundations for an excellent movie ruined by outdated and overused clichés, such as police attending scene as mentioned. The continuity and flow of the story is also where our movies fail ! Why ? More like a cut & paste scrap book from a primary school student. We're far more capable and able than that.

    So, after a promising start and holding of breath, sure enough, we were let down again.

    Certainly not due to the acting or rather casting, just the corner cutting & lack of vision & adherence to clichés again letting us down.

    Query, does the director & producers watch their work the way we viewers, who the product is made for, do ?? Can they not see the shortcomings of their work, the way we do ?

    A shame, as they had all the elements there to make an excellent movie. Dare I say one to rival the US who churn this stuff out like McDonalds does with burgers.

    I do thank all the actors & crew involved for their efforts. You deserved a better end result.

    Offbeat

    This is one quirky movie. It won't be everyone's cup of tea but movies like this always get my attention. It's short and uncomplicated.

    It's a good movie, probably not worth an 8 but as I live in Victoria and recognised some of the locations I bumped the rating up by 1 point.
