À propos de ce film

Set in 1825, Clare, a young Irish convict woman, chases a British officer through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. On the way she enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker named Billy, who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.

Notes et avis

Pretty full on and a hard watch. That said I would recommend over much that passes for cinema, plus an another interesting woman director in J Kent.

A harrowing but compelling film. Has not received the attention it richly deserves.
