Immensely engrossing.

Despite some neatly understated yet complex performances by Griffiths and newcomer Everett, the film has a tendency to meander from scene to scene without ever sufficiently engaging the viewer.

[Director Jim] McKay never finds an effective way to drive this paradox home, though he is an honest enough filmmaker to expose it.

Dull, uninteresting, nothing happens, and the end was just as good as the rest of it.

i came across this movie quite by accident. The presence of Rachel Griffiths made me want to keep watching, only i seemed to spend the whole movie waiting for something to happen. not sure if this made it intriguing or boring.

Good film, very realistic and believable. Sensitively directed by Jim McKay, well acted by everyone, especially the young Jonan Everett. Good score. The pace is a little on the slow side, but at least it didn't outstay it's welcome. The filmmakers achieved a lot with a minimal budget.
