    This is a great film, and makes me proud to be an Aussie to have our film industry producing gems like this. The acting is beyond good, as seen by Hugo Weaving, Sam Neil and Cate Blanchett (Every time I see a movie with Cate Blanchett it reinforces how much of a great actress she is) and a few other lesser known Aussie talents. Tells the story of the experiences of a woman who is trying to get her life back on track but the past keeps slowing her down. A few very emotional scenes and very well done. Although the acting was by far the strongest element overall

    This movie is a little slow, but has an interesting story. It probably wasn't necessary to be 2 hours long. The ending is very abrupt considering how long the story was dragged out.

    Great performances raise this Australian tale of the struggle to move on and what to keep from your past, above the norm.

    An excellently directed and acted film, with a script not completely realized. With such excellent character development, I expected less of a cliche to bring it all together. Worth it for Hugo Weaving as you have NEVER seen him before.

    Not quite what I was expectiing from this film. The acting was fine, Cate Blanchett was very good, but the story was a little stretched out and there wasn't many high points to accomodate the low points

    Great acting cannot save this film. It is slow paced and quite boring. Its toted as a thriller but is more like a melodrama.It gets a half a star for Cate Blanchett.

    The acting was good, but I found myself silently pleading with each character to just go away. I have a high tolerance for movies that don't engage me but I almost could not finish this one.

    En film om drogmissbruk och våld.Hur svårt det är att vara beroende av droger och hur det påverkar livet. Den här filmen var för jobbig att se, inget hopp eller livslust alls i filmen egentligen.

    Very depressive movie with a nice cast. Powerful and makes everybody think about the difficulties of our lives.

    It says here in genres "mystery and suspense"....:)) I see no suspense or mystery here...She just can't get herself together.Yea, she's trying, but it can't work if she keeps hanging around the same people she from the heroin times...The only reason I watched this movie was because of Cate Blanchett....but I wasn't specially pleased with her performance...But it's not really her.It's more that her character isn't powerfully written.You can watch it, but no brilliance here.

    This film, while not bad, is actually quite forgettable apart from Blanchett's performance, which is excellent as usual.

    I guess I'm just getting sick of drug movies, and this one seemed even more pointless than most. The acting is good though.

    Quirky little film that packs a powerful punch. Cate Blanchett and her co-stars deliver mysteriously deep performances riddled with emotion and history. The story-line, though made clear through the film, remains still vague enough to become universally meaningful, relatable for anyone. Cate Blanchett struggles with maintaining the positive changes she's made in her life in a world trying to push her back down.

    Quite an impressive little film about one woman turning her wild ways around and trying desperately not to fall back into them. Finding herself amongst old friends is both bittersweet and hard, enabling new and old problems to come to a painful fruition. Cate and Hugo are, as always, the glisteninf stones in this piece, Rough edged and worn but with a gem of their own inside their characters. Hugo's portrayal is both flawed and endearing at the same time. Worth a look for sure.

    A slowly played out australian drama about recovering from and putting behind you a past of serious drugabuse... Cate Blanchett shines in her role!! The acting performances are really good so you sort of forget that you are watching professional actors and not reallife characters. All in all a very beautiful story! I'm only giving the movie 3½ stars - but Cates performance is definately worthy of 5 stars!! A must see in my opinion!

    This film features a stunning performance by Cate Blanchett and her co-stars are exceptionally good too, especially Hugo Weaving. You can feel the tension and the struggle she's dealing with all the way through it and you find yourself really rooting for her. A very worthwhile rental with a thought-provoking story.

    Pretty standard "drug addicts seeking redemption but get sucked back into their sordid milieu through love or favours" fare. Feels like every second independent film of the 1990s. Possesses one of the most bizarre and unintentionally funny endings in recent years.
