  • Perry's perfect life – creating colors for a British paint company – has lately become one of constant misfortune. In desperation, he travels to one of the most desolate parts of Australia where he hopes to find a special color, called Siam Sunset, which could bring him great fortune and salvation. Along the way he meets Grace, a woman who seems to belong to a different world. Together, in the midst of the Australian outback they decide to give life, and maybe love, another chance. But will the wild universe they live in let them? A quirky comedy with just a twist of fantasy from one of today's most sought after directors.

    The failure to blend very disparate elements satisfactorily marks the movie...Parts have an oddball charm, but too much of it is either flat or unappetizing.

    Some will find Siam Sunset too resolute in its quirkiness, but the movie offers an enjoyable ride.

    Functions best as a comedy of cultural differences and prejudices.

    This isn't a terrible film, just an uneven one.

    Roache ... has no trouble covering the complexity of Perry, while the supporting cast (usually representing the mediocrity and awfulness of the world) are nearly always good for a laugh.
