This is a remarkable film and one of the finest performances of Hugo Weaving's career. It especially resonates with anyone who grew up in the regional places of Australia. There is something of the desperation of these lonely places where many live their whole lives all the while maintaining a suspicion about the cities.
There is a rawness to the film that feels deeply felt. With hindsight we can see now that the director has gone on to have an impressive career and continues to refine his work.
In short I would highly recommend this film to a potential viewer especially if compelled to explore the further reaches of Weaving's body of work as this could be easily overlooked.
