Dounoukos's project with the film adaptation [of Helen Garner's book] seems apparent: to give [the real life Anu] Singh a more ethically complex position within the [true crime] story.
[Consolation] is a dark and thought-provoking film that will linger with you long after the credits roll.
The crime itself are like a train wreck in slow motion-you can see the crash about to happen, and yet you can't look away.
Perhaps it's not possible to translate the gonzo narrator, leading us into a dark-edged forest and getting lost with us, to cinema. Perhaps the material really cried out for a documentary treatment.
Fares best as a careful portrait of a woman unravelling in an extreme manner.
A misanthropist's delight, this unflattering portrait of Australian society truly gets under the skin.
