Reviews (1)
Australian films of that time weren't just focused on the indigenous population, nor were they solely about proper blood and gore. In the meantime, something else was growing, something that showed that film in Australia could be truly diverse and intellectually competitive with international cinema. In this case, that's definitely true. It's a universal story, yet it uses the Australian setting beautifully. ()
