Full Plot Details

Jindabyne, in the southeast section of New South Wales, was moved to its current site from its original site upon the building of a hydroelectric dam, the resulting reservoir, Lake Jindabyne, which now sits atop the original townsite. Among its residents are a group of friends who socialize together: married Stewart and Claire, a service station owner/former race car driver and a pharmacist respectively, and their school age son Tommy; married Carl and Jude, who have been guardians to their granddaughter Caylin-Calandria, Tommy's friend and disruptive classmate, ever since her mother's passing; Rocco and his new aborigine girlfriend, Carmel, a teacher at Tommy and Caylin-Calandria's school; and young parents Billy and Elissa, Billy who works casually as a mechanic for Stewart. Despite Stewart and Claire loving each other, there has long been disharmony in their household. Claire left for eighteen months following Tommy's birth due to post-partum depression. Then, Stewart's mother moved to Jindabyne to look after Tommy, but still undermines Claire as a parent. And Claire doesn't like Stewart's closed emotional state, she who just wants them all to connect as human beings. As they do every year, the four men embark on a multi-day fly fishing trip to a remote section of the river. Shortly upon their arrival, Stewart discovers the dead body of a young aborigine woman in the river. What the men decide to do, or not to do, ends up receiving the wrath of general populace, but especially that of the aborigine community. It also has the potential to tear the friendship among this group, as well as Stewart and Claire's marriage, apart. Through it all, Claire, in that want for human connection, does what she believes is the right thing, which is not always met with what is her intent.

Movie Reviews

Shadows on the Wall - 10/10 by Rich ClineDespite a glacial exterior, this fine film holds us in its relentless grip.
Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawThe movie is beautifully shot, and succeeds in being deeply disturbing and mysterious, with richly achieved nuances of characterisation. I have seen it two or three times now, and each time it gets better.
ViewLondon - 10/10 by Matthew TurnerImpressively directed, thoroughly engaging drama with terrific performances and a superb script. This is one of the best films of the year.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip Martin"I do just what I want to do/ I want everything and I want you, too/I wish I could explain to you/But the things men without women do/You just don't understand."
Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonWith its cold brilliance and delicate aloofness, this is a movie you can hold aloft to recognize and examine its many intellectual facets in hard light, but it will never make you feel anything.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Paula NechakJindabyne is uniquely Australian, dealing with Australian issues, and it boasts a wickedly wry conclusion that -- for everything that has come before -- is karmically just.
Reeler - 9/10 by Michelle OrangeJindabyne musters all the emotional momentum of a reflecting pool despite a solid cast and fertile premise.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenWhat could have been a solid, noirish thriller is bogged down by excessive incidents.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumJindabyne -- named for the lakeside town in which the troubles spill -- can't contain all that the filmmakers want to throw in. Best to keep glued to the taut performance by Laura Linney.
Buffalo News - 9/10 by Jeff SimonSubtle and understated, a meditation on morality, mortality and murder that escalates into a small emotional powerhouse.
