I'm a big fan of small indie Aussie films, this is a film about domestic violence in Western Sydney, a very real and important problem. The film uses the very real stereotypical characters that exist, junkies etc. - which is Not a problem, I like seeing these types of characters in films. Unfortunately, as heartbreaking as the topic is the film has many flaws.
The Actor / Director Claire Mcgann who is the main character is NOT the strongest of actors, nothing special happening there, there could have been so many layers to a battered woman, but the performance was so wooden and two-dimensional.
She uses her extremely good looks and body to drive the film. Her sexuality alone takes over the film and it's hard to follow anything else as its just raw sexuality that she's exploiting and it worked, it got me following her story.
The writing and directing was also very poor, no real story or character arcs. All the actors were of a poor quality. Locations were great, production design was really good and the cinematography was actually quite decent. I enjoyed the music score as well as some of the songs. The Color grading was also very good.
The sound effects were terrible, and the sound design was just amateur.
Its a great effort for the budget. So well done overall but this is an amateur production at best with many postive elements.
