With the death of their mother, two sisters (Nona and Cressy) return to their childhood home in Northern Australia where their third sister, Mae, lived looking after their mother. The funeral happens and the three find themselves together in the house for the first time in years. With time to talk, drink and fight, past hurts are revealed and family secrets come out.

"Radiance" is a little Aussie indie with a cast of five and a focus on three sisters who are reunited by the death of their mother. Most of the film is dedicated to dialogue between the trio of sibs as they sort through old issues and discover new ones - all painting a portrait of the dead mother while leading to a dramatic crescendo. This dialogue-intensive film has only a marginal level of substance given it's narrowness and most of the time is divided between fleshing out the characters and working through family matters. An okay small screen watch for Aussie flick fans and viewers into tight dramas. Keep expectations low to avoid disappointment. (C+)
