Jindabyne

6/10

This was an Australian movie with Gabriel Byrne and Laura Linney. The plot was interesting - and I could empathize with Laura's character.

What I didn't like, was how slowly this movie unfolded. It was painful at times - there were several segments of Australian Aborigine music. At these times, I took advantage of the fact that Andrea and I were the only people in the theatre - and we had conversations that had nothing to do with the movie. We were filling in the empty spaces.

I think Andrea hit the nail on the head. She said that this movie felt like one that a film class would use to discuss symbolism within movies. It had that actual feel.

Not bad. But not great.
