Australian cinema gets even more tar-black with this depressing true story. However, I think there's too much spent on mood and not enough on story; there are shots and entire scenes that feel so tangential while there's so much of the story that's missing, it feels like it's doing injustice. Still, a real toughie of a film and it'll feel rewarding in a shadowy sort of way if you can make it to the end. There's no town like Snowtown.

The acting is remarkable. The rest of the very slowly paced film isn't.

Harrowing portrayal of a young mans slide into the world of a serial killer. Based on true events that happened between 1992-1999 in Australia. Great performances from all the cast and shot in a realistic documentary type style. Some scenes made the hairs on my neck stand on end.

Generally well-done, but the effort expended to effectively portray Bunting clearly outweighs that of the other characters. Jamie, in particular, has little dialogue, as though the filmmakers were never quite able to resolve the dilemmas involved in representing his situation. Unrelentingly grim but the film is in fact toned down when compared to the real crimes, and needed to delve even deeper into the heart of darkness of the perpetrators and the milieu to convey insights and affect audiences.

good acting but not an enjoyable film at all

Suffocating, depressing and terrifying. A relentless film which follows the wake of destruction, both physical and psychological, left by a serial killer in a small town in southern Australia. A must-see!

Brutally brilliant....

A sordid tale well told by a talented filmmaker. Kind of wish I'd never seen it though - there's not much here to lift your view of humanity.

An alright film about a gruesome subject. It tells a true story, but beyond that leaves you wondering "what was the point of that?"
