A visually haunting story of an adolescent girl’s discovery of the difference between sex and love in the winter landscape of an Australian ski resort town. New 4K restoration.
Cast
- Abbie Cornish
- Sam Worthington
- Lynette Curran
- "Shortland paints a collage of regret: evocative snapshots of what might be; gritty footage of what is. Her cast is bursting with promise."
- "Director Cate Shortland has created a truthful, textured tale, exploring the subtlety and sensuality in all her scenes -- and never taking them exactly where expected."
- "A frank and visceral film that at the same time exudes an unexpected innocence."
- "[A] brilliantly realistic performance by Abbie Cornish as Heidi."
- "Cornish's raw, nuanced performance and Shortland's sympathetic but unsentimental portrayal of Heidi's fumbling steps toward maturity are underscored by Sydney-based band Decoder Ring's catchy, angst-ridden score."
- "Cornish is a marvel..."
- "[I]t's impressive -- and so is Cornish."
- "Heartfelt, painful, exhilarating and, above all, truthful."
- "Cornish's is the most goddamn, gosh-wow debut I've seen in years."
- "This beautifully understated feature (2004) revolves around sex, but it’s neither erotic nor puritanical; its young characters are governed by their urges, but the experience itself seems as neutral and mysterious as sleep."
