How can I watch this in the US?


It's an Australian movie and I can't find it online, either legally or illegally. Nor can I find the DVD for sale.

However, be warned. The DVD and the Blu Ray are both Region Locked (Region 4 & Region B respectively) so unless your home system is set up for region free these will be of no use to you.

Don't know if this will work for everyone in the US, but I have a region A/1 locked Blu-ray player, so I was apprehensive about buying the Blu-ray from JBHifi. Some players, including mine thankfully, will circumvent the region protection if you push the 'Top Menu' button on the remote when the 'Region Code error' message pops up. Can't guarantee it will work for everyone, but it did for me. More info here: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=238288

We just saw it at the Seattle International Film Festival, so check to see if any film festivals in your area might be showing it.

If you have an android phone download the app Shoebox. If you have an apple product download MovieBox. They're not apps that are available in either of the app stores so you will have to find yhe app online. However, I promise it's not some fakr, crappy with terrible movies. I use Shoebox on my android phone and seriously the selection of movies, and TV shows is phenomenal. I don't know how to say this so it won't sound like I'm trying to make you download some sort of malware virus type thing in your phone. But honestly I would seriously never do that. I respect people. I wouodnt lie to you like this. It'd be a waste of my time. I just like telling people about the app cause I use it so often. It updates with movies and shows regularly. It's actually how I came to find out about Holding The Man, I downloaded it and watched it from the app. It offers the ability to stream, download torrents, or download some other type of video format. Anyways the movie is also on Netflix in Canada now. I'm not sure about America but hope I helped.

Sorry I accidentally typed "Shoebox", I meant Showbox.
