500 Miles is an emotional Australian drama that captures the essence of what it feels like to be truly lost, and found again. The two lead characters created some beautiful moments in this film, and their emotions were often portrayed with just a look or a pause. As Emily and Shane's back stories slowly unfold, these moments became more profound as the film went on and there were a few lines spoken by the characters at the half way point that revealed their thoughts on life that took you outside of the plot, and into your own self as a human, and these were some of my favourite moments. The lead actors really embodied their characters without too many words, right from the moment they were first seen on screen.
