For a small production, this is quite a polished film. Maggie Nauori gives a really good performance in the lead role. There is some great cinematography of the Canberra locations - such as the ANU playing fields in the fog - although I found the shots of empty Canberra places a little overdone. The character of Joe comes across as very passive and weak.
It is true to the book it is based on, in that it recounts the events quite vividly, but doesn't provide many answers. Overall I thought it was well worth seeing as it told a sad and strange story very well.
