I'm an Aussie who often does not enjoy Aussie films, despite my constant attempts to. This movie was a wonderful surprise - the setting was perfect for the story, and the young actors were so natural and authentic. The story is a beautiful coming of age tale, an innocent navigation of loss, human connection and sexuality. The music is lovely and the chemistry between the leads fills the screen. Nothing is over or under delivered - it all feels perfectly balanced. I'm hoping this film gets dvd release soon as I want to send it to friends overseas!
