Fantastic movie capturing Australian migration, modern life and the end of manufacturing

This movie is such a good encapsulation of modern Australia. With footage of advertising Australia as a prime living destination in the 60s to inclusion, diversity and social hierarchies.

Excellent story telling that leaves the viewer wanting to understand more of what they've seen.

This movie is cinematic excellence! I hope it will be studied by many generations to come.

Brilliant casting for main characters who know deeply how to embody the storyline. There is depth, love, tragedy, crime and all facets of life embedded in the film. The complexity of life in general and of place has been shown rather than explained. A fantastic movie I highly recommend.
