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.
