Twin Rivers

Very good story. What lets this picture down is poor editing as some things are not explained fully, some poor acting by the female lead, the obvious rivalry of brothers taken from "A River in Though it" , along with the narration. An ok movie where you won't regret watching but can't help think you could have watched something better.

Was lovely to sit back and watch Twin Rivers. Another great Aussie film by Matthew Holmes.

Depression during 1939 was a terrible time for a lot of families and to see that Thomas had a dream that he wanted to pursue. Then having his brother, William, wanted to help his brother with his dream.

The struggles they both endured, plus finding love and jobs along the way.

This film captured me from the very start with amazing views of the country side, music, adventure, struggles etc.

A very emotional film which really pulls at your heart strings.

Excellent film! Can't wait to see what else Matthew Holmes produces. He has amazing talent and vision.

I came across this movie by accident and I am so glad I did. Every thing about it was handled gently but realistically. The colours of the scenery, the locations, the costumes were restrained and gave the story much more impact and much more reality, It was heartbreaking but enlightening to learn of the actions and emotions of an era not that much in the past. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey I was taken on and think Mathew Holmes is a genius to accomplish so much with so little. I want to see what else ha has done Loved it!

The debut feature film from Matthew Holmes delivers a beautiful coming of age story that leaves you thinking of the decisions you make in your own journey.

Avoided watching this movie for some time on the basis it will just be another poorly acted Australian soap. Came away thinking this is one of the best movies I have seen.

It is hard to believe that this great movie was made without external financial support and instead relied on the assistance of 300 volunteers and community organizations including vintage car clubs.

All of the actors provided believable presentations of their characters. Just came across as ordinary people living in the times of 1939.

This movie not only confronts the issues that so many Australians faced during that period (1939) of the great depression but the settings in the towns, on the sheep stations and along the dusty roads give a real picture of what Australia was like at the time.

Simple but poignant themes of mateship, young men growing up, following dreams and the truth of how significant people come in to and pass through lives often leaving the seed for further development.

A story told that people of all ages can relate to.
