Yeah mate, nah...yeah?
This is Australian cinema...this...really? Fuck oath hope not.
Story in a “ducks nut” shell:
Two Aussie youngens develop a good bond.
The boys grow to love the waves.
Meet sketchy bearded fella surfin the ocean.
Bearded fella becomes their coach, and lets them meet the misses... but she too grumpy and likes to sleep sleep, but forgets to slip slop slap.
Misses used to be a legend of the slopes, the snow that is, but hurt ye old knee long time ago.
Bearded fella takes one of the hella-Aussie bois to Indonesia to catch some foreign swirls.
Blue eyed boy stays in oz. Uses this opportunity to take bearded fella’s miss no smiley wifey for a spin.
Miss no smiley can’t get enough of cheeky boi, until oh oh, there’s a little baby cookin in her tum tum; Frothing.
Boy now man.
Surf still good.

They say the word "reckon" 27 times in the first 10 minutes of the film so I don't reckon.

It’s quite good, until it takes one of the most baffling, unnecessary plot turns in film history.
I don’t know what the fuck they were thinking. It’s so weird and does nothing for the story. The movie never recovered.It succeeds as a love letter to surfing, and a portrait of childhood friendship. It’s beautiful to look at, but it fails almost everywhere else.
The kid who played Loonie was a highlight, there should’ve been more time given to his character. Felt like so many people I knew as a kid.
PS this movie does a really poor job with its female characters.
There’s so much to like, but they fuckin’ goofed it.

This goes from a coming-of-age surfer flick to a statutory rape bdsm story out of fucking nowhere. I don't know what the age of consent is in Australia, but I didn't need to see that many sex scenes between an adult and a 14 year old.

the only things i liked about this were the cinematography and the soundtrack aaaand that’s about it sorry i just don’t love watching adult women fuck a 15yo boy m8

Straight men are the fucking worst. A movie absolutely devoid of any reason to exist. Has absolutely zero to say about anybody beyond Tim Winton's very narrow concept of whose stories matter. The stakes are absolutely bare minimum (even the surfboard that Pikeless loses in the surf is eventually returned). Are there any teenagers of today? How can a film appear so homoerotic and yet so completely oblivious that that would at least make the film more interesting.
And what the actual fuck was with that paedo sex montage set to Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain". A true contender for worst scene of the year.

at its best it’s a really well shot surfing montage
at its worst it’s weird pedophilic 50 shades of grey coming of age story????????????
