Our take

A love story split into three parts—Heaven, Earth and Hell—this riveting Australian relationship drama brings together compatriots and co-stars Abbie Cornish and Heath Ledger, delivering exceptional performances as a pair of doomed free spirits. A moving depiction of addiction and recovery.
