Directed by Cate Shortland, written by Rachel Seiffert, Robin Mukherjee and Cate Shortland, produced by Paul Welsh, Karsten Stöter and Benny Drechsel.
Average viewer score of 6.7/10 from 323 ratings.
Unwatchable. Either the cinematography or the post production is to blame. Either way, the Blu-ray is a mixed chaos of random gammas. Night shots are 50% gray one shot, pitch black the next. Day shots overblown, but reduced to 75% brightness, and also squashed at blacks that are then elevated into grays to add insult to injury. For a perfect trifecta, it's all marred by a heavy blue tint that makes everything look…
