It's difficult to write a review without giving anything away .I saw the film in Byron, with a packed cinema and then heard one of the two main stars speak, as part of a question and answer session afterwards.I have watched films before and felt quite a lot of emotion and connection.This film took me to places I did not think was possible ,with cinema.Its going to be a little challenging to watch for a few people , however the common thread that winds itself around this production is humanity.Watching the older and younger stars practice their craft was mesmerizing . For many years I have criticized Australian cinema as being too uniform and lacking depth.Many times I have felt that we portrayed Australian stories by a clichéd approach that merely served to dumb down our product. It left International viewers with the idea that basically our culture was an even and non diverse one.This film has brought intelligence and heart back to our screens.Australia has a brilliance and happiness that other cultures envy.Even when we are down and out or being discriminated against we manage to find humor.This film definitely has those qualities.However remember to bring some tissues , because this film will surely touch your very soul.
