This is a wonderful film, very well put together and it tells a great true story. It has a big cast of rich characters, well played by great actors. Both Sam Neil and Teresa Palmer are global A list stars and they really shine. The story is full of heart and expresses it vividly and emphatically, well paced all the way through. It is full of lovely fine detail and thoughtful touches. The music is well matched thematically and moving. The work, challenge, strife, upsets and character are finely drawn and utterly credible. This feels like a top rate fully polished film, without a hint of any corners being cut at any level of production, yet it has none of Hollywood's excess. It does not feel, at all, like a directorial debut: Hats off to Rachel Griffiths, this one I want a copy for my library and to loan out to friends. RECOMMENDED
