Hinnangud ja arvustused

Characters are generally deplorable making it difficult to care about what happens to them. The film noticeably dances around the big 'S' word and generally comes off as shallow when addressing the issue of Euthanasia. It was also a major annoyance to see the thick coating of average Joe Australian acting mixed with the pretentious indie soundtrack and overly 'artful' cinematography

Surprisingly enjoyable. Although it can be a bit on the nose due to its constant efforts to be utterly 'Australian', there are some really great performances, provoking some strong emotions and laughs.

Awesome cinematography, paired with protagonist Rex's three month life expectancy working as a constant and balanced device that moves the plot along yet never feels exploitative or overt.
