    • Trivia
      The Director had Promised one of the locals Lorna that her and her pink house would appear in the film. By the Time of filming Lorna was in a retirement home, true to her word the director arranged for her cameo next to her pink House and said she could wear anything she wanted so she chose to Pink dress to match her beloved house.
    • Goofs
      Toward the end of the film, Jack is traveling northbound on a V-series train and says "he's got to go back". Nikki says to him "then go", he moves to get off the train and the next shot shows him standing at Wondabyne Station. Problem is, the background footage has already depicted the train having gone past the station (you can see the stone carvings - they are NORTH of the station) and also the V-Series trains (silver) don't actually stop at Wondabyne. You need to be traveling on the OSCARs (grey with yellow doors) for them to actually stop at Wondabyne.

      Mumbles: She's an emotional manipulator of the worst kind and a great fuck. And that, my friend, is a terrifying combination.

    The best movie to come out of Australia in years, perhaps ever.

    Saw this movie over the weekend in New York at the Quad Cinema.

    One if the best movies to come out of Australia, period. I highly recommend seeing this film. Visually stunning, without being overwhelming, or detracting from the storyline. With the gorgeous Hawkesbury River as her backdrop, Reeves weaves characters vividly to life with the pithy little concerns and subtleties that are so crucial in a movie so delicate. The script is tight and beautifully executed. Compared to other feature directorial debuts this is an incredible piece. As a stand alone work, I think this movie will be looked back on as the beginning of an Australian legacy. Bravo. I hope to see much more from this very talented director.
