Well I haven't read Richard Flanagan before and found it hugely self indulgent and in parts plain kitsch. I find it hard to believe it would have been met with such acclaim if it had been written by an unknown. Don't get me wrong some parts are fascinating and thought provoking and novel, and the river event is traumatic and well told (though I had first encountered it in a weekend paper). But overall? Not great. Sorry Richard.

Reading about the book this film was based on suggests a missed opportunity for a great film. As it is the film was worth the watch. A Saturday night in (obvs) film with enough interest and some good acting (Margo Robbie) and lovely scenery. And dare I say it not too long. The introduction of the third character doesn't quite work though for me and distracts from the core theme.
