    I wasn't sure, reading the summary of this movie what to expect. I hesitated and then picked this one of a choice of 3 I was considering. I am so glad I did! Australia is producing some top notch films that dare to be unique while still having wide appeal. This one was a gem. Not only were the characters real and appealing, but the story presents a set of dilemmas for people who are struggling with finding meaning in their lives, that evolve in ways initially sad but ultimately promising. It infuses comedy while providing honesty. You feel good after seeing it, although I would not categorize it as a "feel good" movie - it has depth.

    The kind of movie that the U.S. should make, but usually can't. Sensitive, nuanced acting. Intelligent, careful directing. Unusual use of animation. A story of how danger, death and loss can change and mold us, but should not control us. In the end, a beautiful story of hope. See this movie only if you have some intelligence and human empathy.

    At first I couldn't understand where this movie was going. A woman who has visions of violent death; a man who lives a busy life being confronted with imminent death from cancer.Both of them self-absorbed, but meet due to an accident., and they slowly recognized something in the other person. This turned out to be a movie of hope, with positive outcomes for the three main characters.
