    lost me for a little bit

    One of the worst movies I have ever seen. The moral of the movie was twisted. I waited to the end to see the twist in the tail - but to no avail. So the male lead must give up his career, go back to digging ditches, live in a busted house, send his kid to a decrepid school and...( read more) condemn her to a squalid life, because he doesn't attend his kids school play. I want to throw up!!!!

    A wonderful new film that takes it's cues from the librettos of the classic Operas! AN Opera for the new millenium ...

    Tragic, brutal, and beautiful all at once!!!! I love the soundtrack too!!!!

    This is a good Australian movie. A bit of swearing but still good.

    Overall it was a little weird and boring at times, but the characters and storyline were ok. Just a bit too weird...

    This movie was amazing! so beautiful, so sad.. and everything i love about Australian cinema! I really recommend this one.. Tommy is chasing his dream - chasing music and its place in society and nature - its effects, its unseen possibilies... back home Alysse is waiting for him,...( read more) as are his sister Em, and his mother.. tradgey strikes, and he comes home, but everything gets screwed up.. god this movie is so beautiful and so tradgic.. Set in the Melbourne rave seen, drugs, sex and, above all, music... Tommy is chasing music, it is how he ends up on the other side of the world, but when he comes back, he takes a step away from opera and starts experimenting with electronica and dance music.,, this movie is gorgeous, moving, full of beauitful sounds, heartbreak and seriousl, the best aussie movie i have seen in a while..

    good concept but all in all one of the least realistic movies I have seen.
    the characters are thin and emotionally challenged.
    death is some sort of trivial thing thrown inside a trance show. everything about the reactions of characters is unemotional parody and self important means of expression.
    this movie sucks.
