Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The characters are memorable ones, and beautifully played by the three young newcomers, with Noah Taylor especially effective as the lovesick Danny.

It is so pleasant and unpretentious that we can almost forget the total lack of surprise in this deftly acted Australian film.

Although most of this is rather familiar stuff...the treatment is sufficiently sincere and nuanced to give it a touch of poignancy.

This isn't an adolescent wish-fulfillment fantasy, so the impossible never happens, and it's a credit to the movie that it doesn't.

A film to restore one's faith in films about the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
