CGiii Comment
Apart from it being a film by the excellent Lawn Dogs director, there is very little CGiii here.
A coming-of-age rural tale with stunning scenery - a geeky sensitive kid and a likeable thug both vying for the same girl...who wins?
It has atmosphere and fine performances - Duigan really does know how to get the best from his actors, it doesn't have the sophistication of Lawn Dogs...but, you can definitely see where it came from.

The(ir) Blurb...
During the year 1962, a young prepubescent boy in rural Australia watches painfully as his best friend and first love, an older girl, blossoms into womanhood and falls for a thuggish rugby player, setting off a chain of events that irreversibly changes the lives of everyone involved.
