One of the best Williamson movies., 8 August 1999
9/10
Author: ormas from Sydney, Australia



Perhaps one of the best of Williamson's plays/movies, the story is about an election eve party where the winning side is the wrong one for most of the participants.

The characterization of the drunk middle-aged, middle class, and slightly socialist characters is in my opinion the highlight of the film.

A must see for anyone wanting to understand Australia.
