Yeah there was no real peak, was there? Him running around the conversion place for that few minutes to get his Mom on the phone.
I thought it was a good story with a good message, but yeah...a bit of a snoozefest =P

I thought it started out quite strong...covered a lot of ground during the first half. But then around the 75% mark I was ready for it to be over. Nothing new was happening and I was finding myself bored.

Saw this last night and I wasn’t bored at all. It was refreshing for me to see a film told in such a straightforward way, without sensationalism or sentimentality. I kept expecting the traditional Hollywood moment of tearful resolution but it never really came. It was all the better for it.

It struck me as a very Australian way of telling a dramatic story, understated and observational, similar to a lot of Aussie dramas. I guess Edgerton brought that sensibility to it and having Kidman and Crowe in lead roles made it more pronounced.

An important story told well. Loved it. 4/5
