I went into this movie with low expectations so for what it was worth it was a good little drama. A bit boing at times but it held my interest for at least half of the movie, the other half I sort of FF through. Didn't miss much in doing so though. Good acting, good for a one time watch. Nothing more or less.

It's okay, but nothing great

This film had potential, and when I first read the description I was intrigued, and was looking forward to watching. The cinematography was beautiful and I think the casting was great. I understood the concept of the film, as well as the symbolism throughout, but something was missing.
Firstly, it was SO slow-paced. Too many meaningless shots of scenery that dragged on for no good reason. Secondly, the character development was appalling. I wanted to know so much more about Angie, Claire, and Dan! Their characters needed to be explored with more care and detail. For example, I wanted to know about Angie's childhood, and her home life, and her relationship with her parents or her friends, and why she was left to roam the streets and look after herself. Also, when Brett died, his death felt completely pointless, and were we supposed to feel sad!? I felt nothing when he died because I knew NOTHING about him other than the fact he was a footballer. I also believe that the relationship between Angie and Claire should have been explored further. The ambiguity of their relationship really annoyed me. Thirdly, the script was pretty damn bad. I cringed during certain scenes because the writing was so terrible.
Overall, a slightly above-average Australian film, but it could have been SO much better. I personally don't think you should wouldn't waste your time watching it, but it's alright if you're looking for an easy-to-watch drama.

Nothing worth watching here

This is a movie about rich, pretty people that have problems keeping their clothes on. It tries to be artsy but manages to only annoy. It is a drama, not a thriller. The movie has very little to offer besides showing some boobs - it's just boring and you keep watching these stupid people that you want to puch drinking and banging each other.
Not bad - could have been better

The first to revive or review this film ,even two times due to slenderistic language and inputs that seemed to be inappopiate or whatever, but i try again, which'll be the 1100th review from the nearly blind and ten thumbed handed grumpy old man... and as curiosity killed the cat, was this a neat surprise for a blue monday evening at the start of a new year., lets just summarize shortly, its life and death, pregnancy and abortion, hallusinations and assassination and its coke and meth, mixed with redwine and other alcoholic ingredients, and for those with a hang towards a tingling underbelly there are nudity en masse, spiced with a mouthfull of cunning linguistics and a rip current of bed gymnastics, and on top of that a stern and grell undertow of guilt and other feelings thats hard to put aname on.
its an australian flick that is pretty close to fine art filmographically, its well acted and full of suspense, even though it could be written on the backside of your hand its so full of dirty realism that you just cant leave the screen, and if that wasnt enough you will be asphyxiated by the icecold greyish beachwaves making the opposite mass flux of water near the seashore drag you under ,down and down again till you need to ressucitate yourself.
its also a twisted psychological drama with a web of lies, ocd and a bit of teenage girls ad-hd behavioural issues, that are pretty well dramatized.
