The criss-cross emotional narratives of Guillermo Arriaga (Amores
Perros, 21 Grams, Babel) are a significant reference point for this
beautiful second feature by Singing Chen. A privileged but unhappy
couple strive to renew their love with a trip abroad, while at the
other end of the economic scale, an Aboriginal family struggles with
alcoholism, and a Christian minister seeks to save a lost soul. Finally
all the storylines combine - to startling effect… Distinguished by its
gentle eloquence and its stunning cinematography, this is an
insightful, unpredictable tour-de-force. (reference)
