| User ReviewStan HGeoffrey Wright's follow up to Romper Stomper is a Roeg-esque study of the underbelly of Melbourne's society. The main characters are lost in a world they can't relate to, forming a bond they have little choice not to in order to find themselves. Then it's all topped off with a monster of a car chase, bonza. |
| User ReviewRoman LIf you like twisted dystopian movies - that is IT. Pure profit. Acting is perfect. It's a love drama, but not the one you will watch with a date. Very dark and gloomy with no happy end. From the guy who directed Romper Stomper. |
| User ReviewMilö GGreat film with awesome characters and acting. A solid follow up film for Geoffrey Wright after Romper Stomper |
| User ReviewLee MSo overwrought and unrelievedly grim that it comes close to playing like a parody of teenage angst movies. Its purposeful lack of appeal on virtually all aesthetic levels makes it a bit unwatchable at times, which, since that's the point, puts it somewhere between a masterpiece and complete mess. |
| User ReviewJon BStrange film, Geoffrey Wright's follow-up to Romper Stomper. Can't explain why, but I just like it. |
