The scenery was nice but the story itself was very slow to develop, disjointed, and the ending was bizarre.The children's story lines were odd and unnecessary and only delayed the real story itself. The power line scene on the camping trip left my husband and I both wondering the significance - was he thinking about climbing it to try to get reception or what?!! If they really wanted to come up with a believable story then why didn't they all just agree to say that they had discovered the body right before they le[BLOCKED WEBSITE]e home? They were willing to delay report finding the body yet felt they had to then tell the truth about when they actually discovered her. The acting was good but overall I felt that I wasted my time and money

The scenery was beautiful but I could have gone to the discovery or history channel to get that. The story was disjointed , the acting very average, and the ending was terrible. I thought it was a waste of our $.

Immerse yourself in "Jindabyne"
Haunting. Caught it at the Portland International Film Festival on a whim and was entrances from beginning to end. Linney and Byrne illuminate the small-tension and animosity with grace and ferocity.

The Beautiful and Ugly of Australia
The movie is beautifully filmed and the actors are fantastic. The interplay with the aboriginals was very interesting. But, just as with several of the Australian films, we do see the ugly side of humanity and this movie will make you think...
