I really liked this movie and found it really quite moving. All the actors, especially the young ones were really impressive and the presence of a few big names added to the quality.
The scene where Jasper lays in bed wondering about the racism towards his friend almost had me crying.
The one thing I will say is this film just does too much. You had the threads of small town suffocation, the murder mystery, Jaspers story, the romance, the racism, the cute friendships, the abuse, the writing etc. It was just a little too cluttered. It did add dimension sure but none of those dimensions were allowed ample time to be explored. From the very first scene, the synopsis even you believe it will be all about the mystery and yet this really doesnt see a lot of air at all!
But overall a really good Aussie movie. 6 years 8 months ago
