Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

There's one richly absurdist scene here between two cops in a diner. There's an iota of interest in that writer/director Bennett has edited the film entirely in jump cuts (very aggravating). There's a choice quotation from Dylan Thomas to get the ball rolling ('We watch the show of shadows kiss or kill, /Flavoured of celluloid, give love the lie'). And then there's yet another ho-hum story of young lovers on the run from the law, this time through the Australian outback.
