Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
There's just a little too much prettiness and plot to compete with all the eccentric behavior of the background population.

fresh:
Anna Reeves' debut feature film, set in a breathtaking stretch of the Hawkesbury River, jumps from idea to idea like a kangaroo, but it's a charmer all the same.

rotten:
Fails to overcome its hokey script and cliched characterizations.

rotten:
If only you could shuck away the humdrum shell of a story about a guy who steals money and hides out among the local river workers, you might have an interesting documentary about shellfish.

rotten:
While her cast is talented, Reeves doesn't concentrate long enough on any plotline or character to build viewer interest.
