Over-hyped in aussie land? Felt underrated in USA. Great film. Lantanas are beautiful plants.

Over-hyped and dull. Why do filmmakers think they need to include a murder for a movie to be interesting? Geoffrey Rush, usually wonderful, it wooden and Barbara Hershey is an unnecessary import who has had too many botox treatments! I love Kerry Armstrong and Anthony La Paglia but again they haven't much to work with. A sluggish film from a great Australian director.

I feel like this film didn't get the attention it deserved. Of the films that interweave multiple story lines and character (i.e. *Magnolia*, *13 Conversations About One Thing*, *Traffic*, etc.), I thought this was one of the best.
