2.5/4

Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) Jul 18, 2012
3.5/5

Blake Howard 2UE That Movie Show Jul 23, 2012
0/5

Julian Wood FILMINK (Australia) Jul 18, 2012

Luke R Feb 23, 2017 Odd! This film lost me. Who would put up with this old bitter woman. This film had some complex ways of looking at life but really just fell flat on it's face. See more
