The international success of Australian films are very low, due to the very much lack of talent with both directors and actors. But then 2:37 came along. At first glimpse the plot is very much clichéd and nothing we haven't seen done before. High school students, with their own problems, moaning about their 'sad' and 'awful' lives. And you can already guess that they will be portrayed by actors in their late twenties, with as good acting skills as your next door neighbour's cat. However, the acting is truly superb, it's terrifyingly believable and honest (Teresa Palmer especially surprised me). Characters develop throughout the film, and prove they are more than one dimensional. The plot is more than enough to keep you interested, as well as guessing. The structure is inventive and provides you with a good narrative of the characters. A huge well done to the actors who in all fairness didn't have much of a great script to work with. The look of the film was also quite disappointing, as it did have a 'school media project' vibe going on. All in all, I'd recommend it. It's a really good film with true emotions, despite the fact it is emotional intense all the way through (and I mean ALL the way through!) the ending is worth the wait, and the acting speaks for itself. Give it a go, I can guarantee you'll be surprised, who knows you might shed a tear...
