While a slow movie to start (very typically of Aussie movies), the plot developed showing the impact of war service and other life tragedies.
The acting was excellent showing the various reactions to these life tragedies.
Sam Worthington gave an excellent performance of the impact of war, the loss of his wife and battling to save the relationship with his son (both actors were also brilliant).
Unfortunately the background music nearly made us stop watching. Why the music in the first place and why so loud? Often the actors could not be understood.
We would have given the movie a higher rating if the editors had eliminated or reduced the music volume.
