À la dérive

A really great Aussie film starring two of Australia's brightest young female talents, Emma Lung and Emily Browning.

I watched the film with my dad and he hates intellectual films or dramas, preferring the typical meaningless comedy or action, but he actually really enjoyed this. He loved it as it reminded him of my sister and myself, so any sisters or anyone who knows a pair of sisters will 100% relate and identify with this film! :) It has a really good story, solid but it seems like its not going anywhere. Emma is Claudia, the protagonist and she is the character we like and support the most. She is possibly the most sane, actually doing something with her life. Emily is Penny, her psychotic younger sister who needs to develop a brain.

Emily looked really young in the film, which I didn't like, especially teamed with her smoking. I know she was messed up because of her mum, but it seemed cheap. Everyone smokes to seem "hardcore" but I thought it was just inappropriate.

Really Aussie, but if you like great thinking films or the gorgeous Emma Lung you'll love this!
