Reviews

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
sydyiscool I saw this movie with two girlfriends while on holiday in Avoca Beach. This was the only movie on offer at that time so we almost had to see it. Though I am maybe (some would say) to young (though I am mature for my age) to understand the full extent of the movie, but from what I do understand it was excellently made. It was moving and a real deep piece of work. The actors- though lesser known- were well cast and the writing went where it needed to go. The ending is by no means happy or satisfactory in the sense of fairytale endings, but rather is the sad reality of the situation. I was silent for about half an hour after because I needed to think and let the movie sink in. I recommend it for people who enjoy moving pieces about real issues.
bendytosh I wasn't even aware of the movie until I saw a review of it on 'At the movies" with Margaret and David. They gave it four stars each so I had to check it out for myself. This movie was a pretty intense movie to watch but was a great movie. I'm not sure if I'm shocked by the movie and its contents but it definitely an eye opener. The movie was really well done. Could have added maybe some more facts about the illegal sex slave industry and statistics also. It seems as though it could be anyone running the show which is a little scary. Not sure why it was only shown at Nova Cinemas but I heard there weren't much support for the movie from lots of people to show it. Recommend to everyone to watch.
Chloe Hughes I went to see this film today and i thought it was written so well! When i walked out the cinema at Nova,Lygon St and i saw my wonderful city in a new light- i now wonder what goes on in those abandoned warehouses and shops. The film's stars Emma Lung, Saskia Burmeister, Sun Park and Veronica Swyak were brilliant! I hope to see them in many future films to come. This film definitely deserves an AFI nomination for best director, best screenplay, best actress (Emma Lung) Well done Dee for bringing this story to the cinema, you have opened so many people's eyes on what goes on in our city's backstreet. I hope to see you write and direct another feature film soon.
yebble I saw this film 2 nights ago at the Sydney Film Festival and I am still thinking about the issues that were tackled. The film was amazing and an all-round brilliant drama. Honestly, I couldn't stop the tears rolling down my face for at least 1 hour after the film ended.The script did not contain lengthy dialogue, but this was a positive. It was not too fast, and not too slow - it was the right speed in order to allow the audience to empathise with the characters. The acting was quite good but I think what made the film was the cinematography and the music that fit the message so well.I definitely recommend checking this film out - it is definitely gripping and very 'in your face'...but worth it!
