Family scapegoat, returns home, after death of abusive parent, Hugh Jackman is menacing & violent older brother set in Sydney Australia
7 May 2021
This is new on NETFLIX. Sydney in the early 90's looks like a deserted outback town. The men drink beer, take drugs, beat up the vulnerable, smaller, more intelligent, family scapegoat brother. The thug, good looking, cooler, more handsome, brother played by Hugh Jackman is a violent alcoholic bully. He has very loyal friends, one now a famous children's picture book Author. Quite a juxtaposition considering his acting was the , cool thug friend who help join in bullying the scapegoat younger brother. It's actually really good. A time capsule. Empathy for anyone who was young or school leavers in this time frame. Australia in late 80's, early 90's was more GRUNGE than SEATTLE. The scene was unemployment, drugs and sexist behaviour. 🍺 and more 🍻 thank goodness some of the generation X LIVED, to see things improve. Heartbreaking story of dysfunctional relationship between 2 abused traumatised brothers.
