The lives of six high school student weave in and out of each other in this fascinating Australian drama directed by Murali K. Thalluri, who was just 22 when he made the film. While the troubles the teens face – everything from drug addiction and anorexia to the basic problems of not being liked by your peers -- are universal, Thalluri and his talented cast do a great job of tailoring them to the individual characters to make them feel fresh. Things fall apart towards the end of the film, but the journey you take to get there is worth it.
