Perfect film in every way.
Honestly, the low reviews are garbage. These are Sundance films first of all, so have in mind when reviewing the type of indie films you are getting into. Secondly, this film was very heartfelt and adored. The realness of going through a divorce, I can understand her struggle between keeping her child happy and safe, and the desire to want to move on. The story is slow because it's freaking Australia! lol How fast pace do you want it? I really loved this film.
I dont know what movie all these good reviews saw but the one I just watched was very very slow and had no real plot. yes people are sad and grieve. This movie was no different and no real ending.

Stunning. This movie hit me hard and has made me re-think my direction in life. It moves slow but it’s beautiful and was worth every minute. So many subtle metaphors. Remarkable film.
