"Tragic and depressing story set in the Australian frontier about domestic violence, racism and how hard is to be, simply put, a woman in any era. Slow and without redemption but quite the tale. "
Rob Paul
"I'm not usually a #western girl, but this movie was more than about natural wilderness. The portrayal of a desperate woman caught between so many hard places and rocks you almost wonder how she handled it at all, and how people can never know the horrific nature of traumatic experiences that drive horrible decisions. Even if it wasn't my favorite genre, it was a sad account that doesn't deserve to be forgotten. #domestic_abuse #sad #desperate_times #desperate_measures #pre-feminism #murder #why_good_people_do_bad_things #drama #western #basedonatruestory #did_I_say_sad #very_sad"
