Indie Romance

Gritty, indie romance that's kind of slow but also has that raw, real feel that people who love indie romances also love. Good performances but it took awhile to fully pull me into the two main characters' personal sagas. Good but not great overall.

Another missed opportunity

Sorry but casting Americans and Scots to play Australians was doomed to fail. Hedlund and McDonald are both great; until they speak. The Aussie accent is notoriously difficult to fake.

The question really is who made the decision to try and thereby doom an otherwise good movie to struggle.

A comedy?

The movie would have been half decent if they had cast actual Australians in the lead roles. Having to sit and listen to those TERRIBLE fake accents made me laugh in parts where I should have been empathising with the characters. It also made most of the dialogue stilted and cringeworthy. It's a real shame that Australian films never seem to have Australians in them... what's the point?

Enjoyable movie

I wasn't sure what to expect after the mixed reviews but as I love the book, decided to give it a go and really enjoyed the movie. Strengths of it are the good acting from a strong cast and amazing WA scenery. Great to see Chris Haywood on screen. Yeah it's not perfect but it successfully avoids so many of the usual film cliches and that made it easy to enjoy and appreciate.

Some Arsty fartsy movie

I don't know it could be the second bottle of Sauv Blanc, Kelly McDonald does a really good Australian accent, the scenery is beautiful, but I don't know what the hell this movie is about.

I came to IMDb so I could understand why I am watching this movie... I still don't know, encouraging my dogs to do toilets is more understandable.

Trivia
Unusually, in parallel with publication of the novel 'Dirt Music', a "soundtrack" was produced, put together by the author Tim Winton and musician/music radio presenter Lucky Oceans; it included both bluegrass and classical music and was intended to embody the quote in the novel, "Anything you could play on a verandah. You know, without electricity. Dirt music."
