May 19, 2012I don't think I "got" this. I do like to watch a good Australian movie, but, to me, this isn't one of them.
Stupid random little pieces of life in a share house. Unconvincing characters and acting (even though some of this cast are good and have liked them in better movies).

June 10, 2008Dead roommate, pagans, skinheads, overdue rent, a suicidal bisexual female friend, and Nick Cave songs are a part of the lead characters' life as he drifts from place to place reluctant to settle down.

January 16, 2007I can't really say why I love this movie so much. It's funny, but also immensly uncomfortable at times, leaving me wanting to switch to a different movie. but I never do. It really keeps you in a state similar to the one you see Danny in throughout the film. It's a great piec... read more

December 24, 2006I adored this quirky film, not so much because it was a superior film, it wasn't, but it was funny and authentic and made me laugh, which is an even better feat! I'm pleased and sad to say that I identify with the lead character. Pitiful.

[Lowenstein] balances the needs of the comedic pain with the exigencies of dramatic truth very well. Full Review

the pop philosophy may sound like Richard Linklater material, but director Richard Lowenstein veers his scenarios with more control Full Review

Lowenstein's misplaced faith in his own scriptwriting abilities results in an overblown, sprawling mess. Full Review
