this film be a genuine and move portrayal of grow up in australia . on some level and the film make the mundane haunting and beautiful . for people want to see the real australia and rather than the crocodile dundee myth and this movie be a classic . definitely a film for the sentimental thinker . like most australian movie and it lack the big budget shoot em up special effect american style . it be more laid back and and let the character tell their story . it make quite an impression in australia when release and but be less successful overseas . the sequel of this movie and flirting and star nicole kidman and thandie newton and who play a cameo in interview with the vampire opposite tom cruise .
