Hard-hitting, resolutely twisted and unsettling low-budget psychological mind-bender from down under.
A housewife takes a catastrophic revenge on her callous husband who arrives home expecting a surprise birthday party and gets something very different instead.
It is cleverly constructed, paced to slow-burn, and acted with brave and impressive conviction by a very skilled and believable cast. Helen Buday is an absolute revelation and her unapologetic and naked (in more ways than one) portrayal is nothing short of electrifying. It is not exactly an enjoyable film to watch, but on a technical level alone it's very, very clever and it certainly stays in the memory long after.
Borderline pornographic, emotionally unflinching and potentially disturbing, this is not for the faint-hearted or those with delicate sensibilities. A feminist wet-dream? Maybe. But it has a unique style that sets it apart.
