Not a bad quinessential Aussie film depending on how you are if your like most worldwide auidence that would ve a negative, if our a lover of home grown Aussie films you may like this.
Its very Australiana which means very slow, boring , snail paced.
Th main actress does really well as does the teen who both sing in the film. All the actors ate good in this film.
The cinematography looks great, love the locations and the color grading and the music score is good and some songs but alot of the songs are a miss, no real melody , no catchyness and her voice can be annoying after hearing so much of it.
Other than that, there isn't much of a story here, nothing compelling, nothing interesting or engaging. I wanted to like this as I like the premise of a washed-up singer trying to finish her album whilst having an unlikely friendship with a runaway teen. This should have been an emotional journey, but the director focused on the music way too much and forgot about the storytelling which should always be number 1. I understand the songs are part of the stories, but they are NOT that great, you need moving emotional songs, like the one at the very end, it was beautiful but needed a bit more punch.
The overall film is NICE, it's proverbial heart is in the right place BUT it's missing an emotional journey, you need to evoke some emotions with such strong themes as the loss of a parent, cancer etc.
Well done to the cast and crew.
