Wish You Were Here
(MA) Fox

THIS suspenseful Australian drama, written by Felicity Price and Kieran Darcy-Smith (who also directs), is a before-and-after story of unravelling lives. Price and Joel Edgerton play Alice and Dave, a married couple who, on impulse, go with Alice's sister, Steph (Teresa Palmer), and her enigmatic new boyfriend, Jeremy (Antony Starr), on holiday to Cambodia. What follows is a tale of unsolved mysteries, fractured expectations and secrets that eventually surface. Virtually every character turns out to be capable of behaviour they could not have imagined.

Your Sister's Sister
(M) Madman


A WRY and intriguing chamber piece in which friendship, romance, sex and family ties are sources of alliances, misunderstandings and revelations. It involves two friends, Jack (Mark Duplass) and Iris (Emily Blunt), and Iris's half-sister, Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), who find themselves together at an isolated holiday house, where Jack has gone to be alone. Writer-director Lynn Shelton is best known for features that have a meandering, quasi-documentary feel. Here, the characters are clearly defined and inhabited, even if the situation is uncertain and ambiguous.
