I'm beginning to lose faith in the IMDb reviews I read in here.
People are being awfully generous scoring this film 10 out of 10 and calling it "the best movie I've ever seen".
To me it's a flawed work of great unfulfilled potential.
The trailer, on the other hand is excellent!
I would have enjoyed this film more if: * It could have chosen on genre and stuck to it. * I could have understood the lyrics to more of the songs (I'm sure they were very clever, but the sound mix was not the best). * There was a reason for Magda's character to be in it. * They gave a reason why everyone was arrested. * The film maker could add some punchlines to some of the potentially funny moments. * They showed more of the country than just the one, dusty red stretch of road.
Having said that, I do agree that it is still one of the better Australian films of the past few years.
I just wish the film makers would spend more time in the editing room and less time on IMDb writing reviews...
