It's very similar to another film about an Irishman hunting for British soldiers I saw a few years back even a rip-off, perhaps, but I can't remember the title of that one. I liked this one but didn't love it, finally just as many flaws as there are good things about it.
Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 6 / 10 Good but flawedĮssentially an Australian rape revenge saga from the director of THE BABADOOK. The tone fits better without that one more thing. I understand the wish for that one more thing. It's the perfect ending but it does one more thing.
The movie only needs to quickly wrap it up after that. Clare falling down in the street is a great climatic ending. The ending goes one place too many but I'm willing to accept it despite being over two hours long. The place and the time is all over this movie. There are some very compelling characters. When he does not get the expected recommendation, the situation spirals into darkness. Hawkins has been stuck leading an outpost for the last three years and is desperate to get a promotion to Captain in a town a few days north. As convicts, they need to be released from service but Hawkins refuses to release the beauty. She and her husband have a baby daughter. Clare is a young Irish convict forced to follow colonial British soldier Lieutenant Hawkins despite his brutality. So tread lightly, be aware of the slow pace, but still brutal story(telling). every nation, every land, every country has their own fair share of dark history they probably don't like to be reminded of. But in a sense it may also be "rewarding", if you consider the things it touches and brings forth. So this is anything but an easy film to watch. What you do have to go through (and I don't think this will get better with repeat viewing) are some very nasty and vile scenes happening to some of the characters you should care for. There are so many things, details in this well researched and well crafted movie, that I don't think everything will be seen the first time around. I am not sure about the evil character being "humanized", but I get what she is trying to say there too. The story is really interesting and it does keep it real. And what intriguing and complicated plans they are.
