NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Jeffrey Burton The movie is engaging but the premise doesn't deliver anything a 'F-you, I'm leaving' letter, couldn't do much more easily. If the husband had been created as a horrible person his wife might be justified in going to such extremes but he's really not that bad. He doesn't seem to be guilty of anything other than neglect (in her mind), 'not listening' and 'maybe' an affair. He doesn't beat her or even mistreat her in the conventional way of looking at things. I don't even know what the grounds for divorce would be. I thought the movie was headed toward him understanding his mistakes and trying to be a better person. He is never given that chance. Instead he is just told how much he sucks through the entire movie and then it ends. The idea that a security consultant wouldn't be able to find his runaway wife who essentially kidnapped their two children (who would be bitching within the first couple of weeks that their father, who they seem to love, is not with them) is ludicrous. If he couldn't find them with his own resources he could turn the case over to the police. She KIDNAPPED his CHILDREN!!! This is a classic case of a writer getting in over his head and not being able to successfully resolve the premise he's created. Instead we're subjected to a one-sided non-stop complaining with no 3rd act and nothing like a meaningful resolution in sight. This should've been solved on the page before it made it to the screen. Overall, well acted and directed but as unsatisfying as Alexandra seems to think their marriage is.

kosmasp The movie starts pretty powerful and suspenseful. But the problem is the twist in the story. And while others do talk about it here, I'm not going the spoiler road. But I will tell you, that everything falls apart with that twist. The main problem being that the viewers feelings have to change (for the characters). But it does not go the full way, so most actions seem ridiculous.Of course you could argue, that some of the things have been done in other movies, without any reasons (none that we are told or as slim as those portrayed here ... slim for the mayhem it seems to have kicked off). But we're not talking about other movies, we are talking about this one. The way the movie starts leaves a few things open. But the way it decides to go, is a path with no redemption. Still nicely done, but not my cup of tea.

guil fisher No vote for this loser of a film. About this sick woman who feels she is abused and takes it out on those closest to her. Her husband and her children. I kept wishing she would pull the trigger. This guy would definitely be better off without the mousy housewife around. Actress playing the wife was so dour and sexless, you wonder what he ever saw in her in the first place. She was his sex object? Please, give us a break. Looking at her flat chested wimpy face would turn anyone off. I just didn't buy this good looking man would ever go for her. There must have been better looking women for the role. Is she the best in Australia actresses? Now Nicole Kidman would be something else. I won't mention the actress's name because I hope not to see her in films again. I mean, she's that ugly, man. Writer and director (same person) should go back to basic film study as this was just awful.

NoGreenGus Wow! This one takes a page out of Takashi Miike's "Audition" and throws a little Lorena Bobbitt into the mix, Australian style. The film is undeniably well-made. The acting is superb by both leads, and the direction is taut and methodical with a distinct visual style. The contemporary, bitter female "man-hater" is redefined here. We get a very close look at an extremely disturbed woman, and extremely disturbed women can cause a lot of problems, even in reality! I admire the film for its inventiveness and risk-taking attitude. I always appreciate that in a film, whether I end up enjoying it or not. Guys, it might not be a good idea to watch this one with the ladies, but if you're a true cineaste like myself, I'd give it a try.
