I saw this very impressive debut feature at the Sydney Film Festival on a cold winters night. The moody soundtrack was superb and really helped create intrigue in the opening sequences . I wasn't really sure where it was headed and I liked the fact that things were revealed gradually and gave the audience some thinking space.
What also worked really well was the fact that Sydney was very much a generic city in the way it was photographed so it really felt like you could have been anywhere. This helped to immerse you in the character's world. I think for this reason it could do well on the international stage.
The performances were great and I really liked the way the minor characters were weaved into the story.
What an amazing outcome for a film shot in a couple of weeks on a tiny budget. This director is definitely a guy (excuse the pun) to watch.
I'd say he has a big future in Hollywood along with his DP James L Brown!!
Someone in the audience asked if the soundtrack would become available and I think the filmmakers are working on that now which will be great...
