Has this film not had much exposure outside Australia?
Blanchett plays a woman recovering from a heroin habit whose ex reappears and suddenly all the old wounds are opened.
An extraordinary look at the underbelly of Australian society.
In my view Blanchett is capable of transforming herself into vastly different characters and not just look like Blanchett playing a role.
That is what makes her different to the regular "stars".
I know a lot of people like KIdman but all I ever see is that forehead glowing like th dome of St Paul's in the sun...
Follow Ups:
When I was looking over her list of films, I noticed this film, one that I had not seen. I will be on the look out.
But my combination of bad typing and an old keyboard provides endless alternatives.
This is one a of a number of very good Australian films over the past few years. Look Both Ways. 3 Dollars. Jyndabine. All very recommended.
Errr, Somersault (which I didn't like very much but a lot of people do).
And now Suburban Mayhem.
These films will give a very different view of Oz than the sunshine and beach bbq image of tourism.
