Reception


On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 71% of 10 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.4/10.
The Age's critic Philippa Hawker described the film as "singular and striking", noting it "has an extreme sense of documentary fidelity but it is intercut with a kind of hallucinatory, over-reaching, vivid excess: it's a fierce, sometimes harrowing combination of the real and the surreal, the visceral and the abstract." Richard Kuipers wrote on Variety: "pic boasts a relatively conventional storyline peppered with heavy verbal violence, trippy visual metaphors and a cacophonous soundtrack that mark it as a strictly outre item for dedicated arthouse buffs". Film critic Megan Lehmann described the film as "dissonant and brutal, but also unexpectedly tender", "a risky piece of experimental cinema" that "melds coarse reality, extreme close-ups, nightmarish montages [...] and a soundtrack that’s alternately jarring and lovely".
The film ranked third in The Guardian's list of the best Australian films of the 2010s.
