'Watch the Sunset' is a gritty drama that showcases the talent of Tristan Barr in delivering Australia's first full-length feature film in one take. Danny (Tristan Barr) tries to escape his life as a Bikie Gang member after kidnapping the drugged Charis (Zia Zantis-Vinycomb) from a violent Shane (Aaron Walton). Danny then tries to repair his damaged relationship with the resistant Sally (Chelsea Zeller) so that the couple and their daughter, Joey (Annabelle Williamson) can runaway from Danny's former life.
Barr and Zeller play Danny and Sally well, with each performing their characters realistically and with depth. However, the screenplay leaves a little to be desired as problems do arise with Danny's past not being completely clear and large gaps in-between significant action as the main characters drive somewhere new. The large gaps of silence are filled by Richard Labrooy fantastic score and shrewd sound design by Steven Aram that weaves the music with the story and conversations expertly. The cinematography though sometimes jarring is incredibly innovative using the film locations to their highest potential.
This film is a fine edition to the Australian drama landscape and Tristan Barr has created a truly worthy film worthy of being Australia's first one-shot feature length movie.
