Jack Flange leaves the big city for a respite in Australia's Hawkesbury River region, where generations of oyster fishermen (and maybe one woman) have made a living, built histories, and piled up grievances. Jack finds a small-town mentality, with pluses and minuses. There's also a recent burglary and lots of missing cash. Jack gets a job oystering; his boss is separated from a woman of invention, Jack's attracted to a chambermaid turned letter carrier, and there are plenty of mine fields for a city boy to step through. Jack also has a sister, who's ill, to worry about. It's a river journey of self discovery. Is he passing through, or has he found home?
Leave your thoughts about Oyster Farmer.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertAnna Reeves' debut feature film, set in a breathtaking stretch of the Hawkesbury River, jumps from idea to idea like a kangaroo, but it's a charmer all the same. |
| VarietyRichard KuipersA small, carefully composed film that rejoices in the parochial lingo and mores of its richly textured characters. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerAt times it gets lost in the backwaters, but the eccentric characters and offbeat humor make it an entertaining detour. |
| Village VoiceMatt SingerWriter-director Anna Reeves seems to expect an audience already proficient in marine biology and never clarifies any of the indecipherable mollusk jargon. Aw, shucks. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezSomething of an afterthought, but it's a lovely excursion while it lasts. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxA terrific showcase for a troupe of fine actors who rarely find work outside the Australian film industry. |
| The New York TimesLaura KernThis darkly humorous, sometimes even raunchy film mostly eludes a typical cutesy, feel-good formula. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardThe realistic scenes of oyster farming and the beauty of the Hawkesbury River lend this movie a degree of fascination that its taciturn, beer-swilling characters can't provide. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsA remarkably assured debut for writer/director Anna Reeves, whose characters have enough grit to turn an oyster into a pearl... The best Australian film of the year. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThere are the makings of a funny movie here, but novice director-writer Anna Reeves isn't up to the job. While her cast is talented, Reeves doesn't concentrate long enough on any plotline or character to build viewer interest. |
