OMG I had to watch this film as a VCE text. Never have I watched such a boring, uninspiring, depressing piece of faeces for a film. Seriously, watching this movie was hellish and we should leave making decent movies to the Americans......
A few years ago, a man attempted murder-suicide by throwing his children off the local bridge into the sea. One of the children survived the fall and begged for help from the fisherman who were casting lines near the bridge. None of the fishermen attempted to help her. When they were subsequently asked why, one of them said "The fish were biting."
That TRUE story is enough to make me steer clear of fishermen - they have some serious warped priorities.
I'm studying this for the HSC as my text of choice for conflicting perspectives... I must have watched it at least 40 times over the past year and it still hasn't lost its eeriness! It's such a powerful film!!!
@demonhog Since you questioned the true story nature of the film I've been searching the web and can't find any media stories relating to a similar murder in the Jindabyne area.
@demonhog this is based on Raymond Carvers story 'So Much Water, So Close To Home', however in his story it is not and Aboriginal girl, they have just adapted that aspect. So yeah, its not real which is a good thing ha
i was an extra in this movie too. Holly Pascoe and I walk passed when they're talking outside the school corridor. Watch the movie, and look in the credits for Lukka Bovie and Holly Pascoe, and look at my youtube channel.

the usual unwatchable politically correct australian nonsense, where subtext overwhelms text to such a degree that the dialog is like listening to martians
