Victoria Thaine announces herself as a talent to watch in this beautifully judged coming-of-age drama set in a small coastal town.
The 27-year-old actress, who "lost" almost a decade to play the character of Emily Woodbridge, a schoolgirl in search of the father she has never known, finds just the right blend of clear-eyed innocence and old-soul-in-a-young body to convince us.
It's an engaging, intelligent performance that demands the audience follow her on this very personal journey, even when it veers off in odd and unexpected directions.
Thaine is well-matched by Susie Porter (Better Than Sex), who is simultaneously vulnerable and feisty in the role of Emily's battle-weary single mum, Susan, who works in a bar as a topless waitress.
