As always I come to IMDB to see how others rate a movie before I take the time to watch it. This is one of those rare occasions where unwatchable rubbish got more stars than it was worth. Apparently this film didn't have a lighting budget. After half an hour it was still so dark you couldn't see the characters properly or work out who they were talking to. If you can't see or identify any of the characters how are you supposed to be able to follow a plot? I wasted half an hour & then changed channels. I suspect this one was rated by teenagers who thought AI was cool even if everything else was complete rubbish. Don't waste your time.

I really liked this movie & it held my interest all the way through even though it was about ordinary people just trying to live their life. One of the best aspects was the pared back script & great acting. I can't stand movies with non stop jabbering about nothing. It's very annoying.

Facial expressions conveyed emotion perfectly & you knew exactly what they were feeling at the time. An ordinary Australian family trying to get through a hard time the best way they could. The mess showed how depressed the mother was & the burst of acting out conveyed how the boy felt without being OTT. The strain between the sisters is never explained but the older one was a solid support when she realized how much they were struggling to cope. If you like steady, understated stories about real people dealing with tragedy you will like this movie.
