All Critics (5) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (5)

The overall feel is one of a film engaged in a constant process of finding itself. Corr's oddly engaging performance is the glue that binds it together.

Below rides a depressing wave of relevancy, shouting at you to sit, stay, watch and listen.

Nicholas Anthony
FILMINK (Australia)
Lahooti's film, while bleak, shines a light on Australia's moral compass and when those ethics are questioned, we're left with a glimmer of hope.

Paul Kelman
FILMINK (Australia)
Lahooti's nihilistic, anti-heroic and at times ferociously angry film is visually energetic and excitingly paced, creating a vibrantly dangerous world ... the work of someone with a lot to say ... not for everyone, and all the better for it.

CJ Johnson
Film Mafia
The film raises a wry smile more often than laughs, but it's a dynamic and memorable feature...
