Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Mr. Ivin doesn't have a strong narrative line to play with or become distracted by, but he takes off on some lovely detours, whether he's narrowing in on Chook or going wide to take in the world that waits beyond.
Fresh: First-time director Ivin makes a smooth transition to the broader canvas of features.
Fresh: Ivin conveys both facts and emotions with efficient brushstrokes (a spied glance, an offhand comment) that are matched by an understated, evocative lyricism.
Fresh: Weaving, best known for The Matrix and the Lord of the Rings trilogies, brings subtlety and poignance to the hoodlum's mercurial character.
Customer Reviews
Phenomenal Movie!
OMG! A great movie indeed. The Plot Summary should be motivation enough to watch this film. Hugo Weaving gives a unique and powerful performance.
