This little Aussie film is about a simple romance between two teen aborigines. Though there is very little dialog, the film has a lot to say. Mainly, that it sucks to be an Abbo. Like, seriously harsh. There’s never a minute wasted in exposing the deplorable reality these two are forced to live in, whether it involved their Ethiopian-like living conditions, addiction to petrol-sniffing or the blatant rejection from the white-dominated Western Australian culture. Tender moments are few and far between, and the film could’ve definitely benefited from more of them. Nevertheless, it’s still a decent slice of wrist-slicing reality.
WATCHABLE
