Review of Uncle David

Uncle David (2010)
9/10
disturbing and representative of displacement at many levels
16 September 2012
We look to cure the ills of the third world and this film represents the dislocation of people and norms within our own society. And we do nothing about it! I found this story horrifying yet compelling to watch as their dislocation at many levels is viewed from a sometimes close and other times distant perspective. I loved the simplicity yet haunting look at these characters. innocence and hurt, caring and giving, and sacrifice. For a extremely low budget film, I thought the acting was great, especially Ashley, who and I do not know how convinced me of his innocence. All in all a disturbing film and an indictment of our society, even the manicured and fenced caravan park shows us as being outside our environment and displaced from the world.
