Well, this has been the most successful Australian film this year? There is a genre now called Depressing Australian Movies and this is definitely one of them.
The decision to keep the main actor silent throughout the film does not really help to emphasis with them. While the depressive world, they inhabit is worth thinking about the root of the whole problem – heavy racism in Australia – only surfaces slightly. I would like to believe, that the success of the film encourages Australian directors and producers to address this issue more directly. As for this project: it lacks humour, passion, suspense, emotion etc. and a story. Just to display the current situation of some Native Australian is just not enough sorry.
