"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+)
