After running out of money while backpacking in a tiny, male-dominated town in the Australian outback, two friends resort to a working holiday at the Royal Hotel. When the locals behavior starts crossing the line, the girls find themselves trapped in an unnerving situation that grows rapidly out of their control.
Critics Reviews:
- “The balance between realism and abstraction isn’t maintained quite until the end, which is effective in its way, but less than a fully convincing resolution to what has come before.” – Jake Wilson (The Age (Australia)
- ““A slight but mightily effective adrenaline rush of a movie, with powerful performances all round and precise direction from Kitty Green. Watch it on the big screen and allow it to properly get your heart pounding and palms sweating.” – Sophie Butcher (Empire Magazine)
- “The script’s a little skimpy on the psychology separating this pair – we’re left to intuit things from their past, what they’re running from. The actresses club together, convincingly filling in the gaps.” – Tim Robey (Daily Telegraph (UK)
