Coming of age: Heidi, 15, runs away from home after her mom sees her kissing mom's boyfriend. She goes to a Snowy River resort where a vague job offer doesn't pan out. She manages to find a place to live and a job at a convenience store. She's between childhood -- nursery rimes and a scrapbook of glittery unicorns - and adulthood - working, sorting out emotions and sexuality, and dealing with social slights and false charges of bad behavior. She's attractive and her loneliness makes her vulnerable. She sleeps with Joe, the son of local ranchers, and she awakens in him feelings he can't express. Is there any way she can put off adulthood and be a kid awhile longer?

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 10/10 by Stephen HoldenSomersault, which the Australian Film Institute garlanded with 13 awards, including best film, director, actor and actress (for Ms. Cornish's astonishing performance), is a movie about the looks on people's faces and the disparity between the surface and the roiling chaos beneath.
Flicks.com.au - 9/10 by Sarah WardSomersault isn't simply sensitive to the mindset of its protagonist, but rather adopts the character's yearning, searching, testing and experimenting mood as its own.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenIts central character, a 16-year-old who uses sex for intimacy, just might be the clue to the emotions that a great many teens go through.
Flipside Movie Emporium - 9/10 by Rob VauxAs a psychological portrait, it's indelible. As a filmgoing experience, however, it definitely requires patience.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Sean AxmakerThe annoying shaky-cam style so common to such indie dramas is toned down to a dreamy sway and the image drifts in and out of focus in scenes of heightened emotions. It's like waking from a daze and getting your bearings; the effect is both unsettling and calming.
Groucho Reviews - 8/10 by Peter CanaveseThe 'free spirited innocent' archetype doesn't convincingly share residence with this numbly sexual Lolita.
All Movie Guide - 8/10 by Josh Ralske...it contains several startling, brilliant moments that bring its emotional and visual content together with tremendous clarity and power.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA mesmerizing Australian movie about one lonely sixteen-year-old girl's yearning for intimacy.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by James ChristopherShortland paints a collage of regret: evocative snapshots of what might be; gritty footage of what is. Her cast is bursting with promise.
Urban Cinefile - 8/10 by Urban Cinefile CriticsA magical and complex debut drama from Cate Shortland about concealed emotions: emotions that are churning, weeping, waiting to be discovered.
