A small, carefully composed film that rejoices in the parochial lingo and mores of its richly textured characters.
A terrific showcase for a troupe of fine actors who rarely find work outside the Australian film industry.
This darkly humorous, sometimes even raunchy film mostly eludes a typical cutesy, feel-good formula.
The realistic scenes of oyster farming and the beauty of the Hawkesbury River lend this movie a degree of fascination that its taciturn, beer-swilling characters can't provide.
There are the makings of a funny movie here, but novice director-writer Anna Reeves isn't up to the job. While her cast is talented, Reeves doesn't concentrate long enough on any plotline or character to build viewer interest.
A quirky dramedy.
Fails to overcome its hokey script and cliched characterizations.
