The framing narrative is a bit of a shame, as it delves into the tired and seemingly manipulative "innocence of children as bad adult shit happens around them" vibe. Aside from that, this is quite the up-front film in how it shows this series of events, though when it gets close to the journalists executions, you realise just how stupidly close they were to the action. Isaac is rather good and this may be the strongest performance I've seen from LaPaglia.

Disappointing, chaotic to watch, it even feels like this movie is made in 1975 and not 2009.

Effective, emotional and well made drama. Connolly shows plenty of skill and uses the well judged script very cleverly. Good performances too. LaPaglia in particular reminded me of what a good actor he is when on form. Recommeded.

Emotion is conveyed astonishingly well here. Some of the images are striking but are necessary to make your feelings go on a very bumpy ride. The way Conolly has constructed this picture, the sensational cast, clever use of cameras and a script that knows where and when to pull its punches make this one for Australia to be proud of.
