Full Plot Details

The intertwined stories of a loosely tied set of mostly emotionally damaged individuals in Sydney are told. Police detective Leon Zat and his wife Sonja Zat probably still love each other but have not stated to each other the problems that have invaded their marriage. Those problems not only affect their relationship, but also the way they parent their two teenage sons. Leon's single partner, Detective Claudia Weis, can probably most clearly see those problems, but is not equipped to be a good informal counselor to him in she considering the eye contact with another regular at the diner she frequents as being a somewhat committed relationship. A bundle of repressed emotions, Leon vents through mostly inappropriate acts of aggression, and having just embarked in an extramarital affair with Jane O'May, the recently separated woman in the same salsa dance class as him and Sonja. Jane initiated that separation from her husband, Pete O'May, in coming to the realization one day that she no longer loved him for whatever reason. Jane still craves human connection, she who may view her affair with Leon differently than him. The O'Mays' marital problems affect their next door neighbors, Nik and Paula D'Amato, who are friends with both and do not want to betray one in helping the other. Nik and Paula are outwardly happy despite their financial problems, with unemployed Nik looking after their three preschool age children while Paula works double shifts to put food on the table. Regardless, Nik still needs his respite away from that role as stay-at-home dad. Sonja's emotional outlet is being in therapy with Dr. Valerie Somers, something that she has not told Leon. Valerie is overcoming her own grief in her then eleven year old daughter, Eleanor Knox, having been found murdered eighteen months ago. While she wrote a just published book about Eleanor as a process to deal with her grief, Valerie's husband, law professor John Knox, quietly says he will do anything to support her. The murder has undoubtedly affected their marriage in a certain emotional and physical distance having formed between them. Among Valerie's clients is gay Patrick Phelan, who is dealing with the extramarital affair he is having with a man in a heterosexual marriage. Valerie's own problems with John affect the way she deals with Patrick, who can see her dislike of him but may not understand the full extent of the reason. These collective stories become even more intertwined when one within this collective goes missing, foul play suspected. What happens in the investigation is affected by the emotional issues each of the players is dealing with beyond the fact of that person being missing.

Movie Reviews

Wall Street Journal - 10/10 by Joe MorgensternA wonderfully acted, acutely observed psychological drama.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Dana StevensAstonishingly well acted film, so much so that it seems unfair to single out any of the performances. Mr. Lawrence's camera sense is as sure and unobtrusive as his feel for acting. The movie just seems to happen, to grow out of the ground like a thorny plant, revealing the intricate intelligence of its design only in hindsight.
Salon.com - 10/10 by Andrew O'HehirElegant but never overstated, sinister but never coldhearted, this is a note-perfect masterwork on a modest, human scale.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Michael SragowVoluptuous dance about love, pain and the whole damn thing.
Seattle Times - 10/10 by Moira MacDonaldThe emotional experience of "Lantana" is heightened by its marvelous ensemble cast, all of whom etch a character in relatively brief screen time.
Toronto Star - 10/10 by Geoff PevereRemarkably non-bummer viewing. Bleak as its outlook is, it's not so much psychodrama as psychocomedy of manners.
PopMatters - 9/10 by Nikki TranterDeserves its accolades for, if nothing else, setting a tone for Australian filmmakers and reaching a level to which they should now aspire.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Jay CarrHaunting, powerfully acted, penetratingly written, it's about people coming home -- and not coming home -- to their marriages.
Palo Alto Weekly - 9/10 by Jeanne Aufmuth"Lantana" never veers off its course, but its path twists and turns with a frantic glee reminiscent of "Magnolia"
Internet Reviews - 9/10 by Steve RhodesFrom the cheating husband to the bereft parents, every character earns our sympathy at some point in the picture.
