sensitive film do lack brilliance and and to some degree and narrative structure and but be nevertheless superbly shot and perform . however and the narrative structure point be debatable . while it give the impression of tie off loose end nicely in the final scene and and connect it thought with what might be describe by the modern viewer a a story and i be sceptical a to whether this feel need a narrative structure that be definite and detectable . inevitably and it will be compare with somersault in that it central protagonist ( i be not sure that the correct word . ) be a young and and very young look and woman and whose newly discover sexuality both confuses and empowers her although of course cate shortland film tackle this aspect well . but while the possibility exist for reckless viewer to dismiss this film a a cliché and peach be and in some way and much more ambitious than somersault . perhaps that where it doesn not quite make it . it certainly very different to monahan first feature the interview . i be not quite sure how the sex scene between weave and lung add to the story . who know maybe they do . they certainly ram home the compromise and flaw nature of weave character although i personally think this be achieve without the need for these scene . just saw the film againon a second viewing and i can see how some would dismiss it a a telemovie dress up a a feature . but i be not sure how distinct these category be anymore and or even if we should be make that distinction . in any case and i do think there be enough layer in the film to distinguish it from hallmark effort . on the other hand and the film structure be very formal and and it content be hardly challenging and at least in the way somersault and tom white and three dollar and the illustrated family doctor and look both way and the human touch be . the performance be all good and but i do come to the realisation that the main reason i be enjoy the film be because it fit the australian genre and without necessarily add anything . and i can understand that this can be a fairly good reason for another person not to like it . indeed and it wasn not until lung enters the room in her vietnamese dress that the film really begin to pack a punch . but that lead u into another debate should we expect that a film must challenge u all the time . certainly i enjoy be challenge by a film ( or a book and or other people ) and but be there no room anymore for what be simply a nice story . i haven not delete my initial post on this film and because i be all too aware of the orwellian overtone of such an act . but i would downgrade my initial rating from an 8 to perhaps a 6 . 5. a for nomination for afi best film and my vote go to the human touch and three dollar and look both way and i think look both way should win .
