Romance | Crime | Drama | Australia/UK | English w/Eng softsubs | 104min Cast: Kelly Macdonald, Garrett Hedlund, Badger, David Wenham The narrative initially unfolds from the perspective of former nurse Georgie (Kelly Macdonald), who is the girlfriend of a wealthy fisherman (David Wenham) – although their relationship is going through a bad patch. But Hedlund’s character, Lu, a musician turned lobster poacher bump into each other in the ocean in the middle of the night. This moment is bathed in a deep midnight blue, emphasizing water as a key motif and implying a fleeting tranquility – the calm before the storm. Georgie and Lu’s romance provides the basic paradigm of a love triangle, with Wenham’s character representing the life Georgie longs to break free from – which is to say, the side most likely to collapse. Both lead characters carry baggage with a capital B, and the film unravels details of their past mostly coyly, despite flashbacks to a dramatic occasion in Lu’s life that captures a very familiar kind of a trauma-inducing incident.
