ozzy film. pretty good!

Last Days -- Lisa Harrow and Kerry Fox star in this story of family dynamics in Australia. Vicki returns home to live with Beth, but Beth already has a french speaking man living with her. There's lots of laughter and fun, but there are deeper issues way down deep. Cracks in the seams of Beth and JP's relationship, but before it can be worked out, she goes on a road trip with her dad. but which mice will play while the cat's away ? and can she get along with a grouchy, complaining old man who keeps picking fights? It's an ozzy film, so everyone in here is quite quirky. things get sad and serious when relationships start to break down. some sadness, but it's fun for the most part. showing on netflix. pretty good stuff.
