Although Jindabyne's cinematography features sweeping scenes of the Australian countryside as stunning as any of those opening shots from Brokeback Mountain, it ultimately has some bigger issues.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 25, 2008

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 7, 2007

Less a moral dilemma than a meditation on the differences between men and women in matters of social decorum.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 17, 2007

Intense relationship drama for adults only.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2007

While it's most certainly not light viewing, and it's entirely devoid of 'Hollywood moments', this is a fine, intelligent, troubling film.

Full Review | Original Score: 81/100 | Oct 3, 2007

A whole lot of padding turns a fine enough story into a dour, wordy slog.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 14, 2007

The film is novelistic in its nuance, in the patience of its storytelling and in the complexity of its mostly unhappy characters.

There is some great acting here, and some scenes do have an undercurrent of elemental power in them that tugs at your ankles. But the film never pulls you in.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 20, 2007

"I do just what I want to do/ I want everything and I want you, too/I wish I could explain to you/But the things men without women do/You just don't understand."

| Original Score: 88/100 | Jun 29, 2007

The filmmakers do not feel the need to fill in every single blank for viewers by the time the credits roll. Just as in reality, these characters' problems are not going to be solved with the wave of a magic wand; there are no short cuts to happiness.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 22, 2007

The movie's remaining revelations build slowly into a set of surprisingly powerful emotional beats.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 20, 2007

Impressively directed, thoroughly engaging drama with terrific performances and a superb script. This is one of the best films of the year.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 19, 2007

For all the pains it takes to establish mood and character, Jindabyne hides under its own uneasy surfaces; it never allows enough sense of what this community really is, of what's to be grieved when it comes apart.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 18, 2007

Jindabyne is not about just one murder but about the death by a thousand cuts that happens in its aftermath.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 14, 2007

Apart from a contrived ending, Jindabyne comes as close as can be to a perfect drama.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 12, 2007

It's safe to describe Jindabyne as a haunted movie.

A tense and spare examination of how these married people relate to each other after years of pain, mistrust and secrets have taken their toll.
