David Stratton

The Australian

Here, the mist-shrouded farm and its environs are artfully photographed and framed, and the result is a film that is not only strong and uncompromising but also exceptionally beautiful.

Rated: 4/5

Concrete Playground

A work made with a distinctive vision... benefits from Peake's ferocious and arresting work in the eponymous role.

Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1)

It's a worthwhile film to watch provided you're keen on the subject matter and you know going in it's going to get pretty real in that final act.

Sorry I was not a fan of this movie! Yes it seemed to be well written and good acting. Although it was a story of a woman "delivered" from one psychotic religion to just another similar one. Maybe that's how it was in those days but this is not a good story with a True Deliverance

Absolute horrid story, promotes rape and and forcible drugging. Depicts some freedom from strict religious life and replaced with the God complex Thomas who believes all of his wants are righteous and godly. When in truth he is a drunken, drugged sociopath who derives pleasure by inflicting violence on others. Quit watching during the rape scene. Good Riddance.

One of a kind - love something completely different. Basically a 'based on true events' depiction of the early Quakers' roots. I have great respect for their ethos and I'm an atheist through and through.
