For anyone who has suffered through the horrors of domestic abuse, this is a movie that explores this with sensitivity and a realism that really brings it all home.
The actors are all brilliant in their roles and the story is allowed to unfold in a quiet series of scenes that tell a sad tale of a mother and her daughter trying to build a life while her abusive controlling husband, stalks, harasses and threatens them both.
The most heartbreaking part though is seeing the pain and confusion in the face of their young daughter who loves her father but fears for her mother, knowing how abusive and controlling he is.
One thing about Australian movies, they are excellent at quiet nuanced storytelling, quiet dramas that have real impact.
This is a movie that might not be for everyone due to its subject matter, but it is worth seeing.
