Comment
Gabriel Byrne and three friends go on a fishing trip in a remote part of Australia where they discover the dead body of an aboriginal girl, but they continue fishing and do not report it for three days. Gabriel Byrne's wife, Laura Linney tries to find out what happened to the girl but this has consequences for her marriage and relationships with friends and the dead girl's community. This is one of those atmospheric social comment films that does not quite work and leaves you dissatisfied. There are some beautiful shots of the Australian countryside and Laura Linney gives a good performance
