  • April 2, 2008
    Aussie lesbian film with Kelly McGillis and an appealing young Aussie actress with disturbingly hairy 'pits!! It's a private eye crime thriller, with hairy woman trying to find a missing girl, whose English professor (McGillis) catches her eye and before you know it they're bonki...( read more)ng! As soon as Marton Csokas turns up, it should be obvious where the film is going, but the Sydney setting is nice, McGillis is knocking on, but looking better than in her recent L Word turn. Story is so-so and sadly conforms to the evil/dead lesbian cliche, but it's sort of fun.

    Can you believe this movie isn't available on netflix? The acting is fantastic! Susie Porter and Kellie McGillis have sex in this movie.

    An acquaintance described this movie as the adventures of the world's worst naked lesbian detective, though that makes it sound much more interesting than it is.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Porter brings such buried heartache and old-school moxie to her role that I wish she had her own detective-movie franchise. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Samantha Lang's flat, paceless direction and Annie Kennedy's painfully expository script ... makes the conceit seem preposterous. full review
