The Final Winter

Just saw Final Winter at the Sydney Film Festival and could not believe how good it is . The re-creation of the game was very effective.It was like sitting on the side lines of a first grade game. The real impact and violence is sanitized by television but by clever technique the director/cinematographer ? have captured the bone jarring impact ! I could hardly bare to watch. A good test of the quality of any movie is when you've totally forgotten that you're watching a bunch of actors such is the reality of their performance. I've always been suspicious of these actors who spend years 'studying their craft ' and still act like wooden Indians.I think they're called NIDA graduates ? I think you've just got it or you haven't. These guys/girls did well. The movie flew past.It was exciting,interesting and emotive and I will be recommending it to my friends and family.Can't wait to see it again !Congratulations to cast and crew.Thank You.
