I think it's been pointed out enough that there are obvious similarities in styles between this and PTA's magnolia but lantana greatly dissapointed me. The critic's loved it and so did all my friends and i was absolutely dying to see this film. I felt it missed the mark. It wasn't long enough. Somebody said that the film wasn't about characters but relationships. How can u have a film with no character development in a film about relationships.
I felt another our would have given the director more time to develop these characters and make us feel something for them.
The fact this film won so many AFI's shows the poor state of the film industry in Oz. That's not to say this is a bad movie, it's decent but got more credit than it deserved.
