David Michôd's sensational directorial debut Animal Kingdom (2010) reinvigorated my faith that Australian cinema is capable of truly profound complexity.

Seldom is a debut feature handled with such assurance and intelligence

Dark and mesmerizing.

Artful to a fault, straining so hard for Shakespearean import it saps whatever life and energy there was to be had in this familiar, low-stakes tale.

It's not unique, but as a distillation of a well-worn genre, it's admirable.

It's a remarkable film: gritty, gut-churning, thrillingly acted.

The film establishes a menacing, unsparing mood that never wavers.
