Critic Reviews

Richard Kuipers

A small, carefully composed film that rejoices in the parochial lingo and mores of its richly textured characters. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

A terrific showcase for a troupe of fine actors who rarely find work outside the Australian film industry. Read full review

Laura Kern

This darkly humorous, sometimes even raunchy film mostly eludes a typical cutesy, feel-good formula. Read full review

Jami Bernard

The realistic scenes of oyster farming and the beauty of the Hawkesbury River lend this movie a degree of fascination that its taciturn, beer-swilling characters can't provide. Read full review

Matt Singer

A quirky dramedy. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

There are the makings of a funny movie here, but novice director-writer Anna Reeves isn't up to the job. While her cast is talented, Reeves doesn't concentrate long enough on any plotline or character to build viewer interest. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Fails to overcome its hokey script and cliched characterizations. Read full review

This film is another very bad Australian 'fish out of water' movie, with bland, one-dimensional characters and a script which is flimsy at best. A poor attempt at quirky comedy.
