Definitely not your typical Hollywood shlop! - Ottawop
Excellent acting! Superb storyline! This mystery kept my attention throughout the full 2 hours, which is very rare! Definitely recommendable! Plot takes a number of twists, and keeps you guessing constantly. And it's not one of those movies that is missing an ending either... all too common fetish amongst foreign directors!!!a movie for adults 4.5* - bosoxx
What a welcome relief. A movie for adults. One has to pay attention. A movie with finely crafted subtleties re: human characterizations, emotions etc.Very good script likely due to it being adapted from a successful stage play.Suspenseful.All the actors are in very good form.A tribute to Lawrence.Nice to hear the Aussie accent. One of the best I have seen from Oz-land recently.Classic Multiple Protagonist Film - Neil_Private
First class with wonderful cast.
Made in the style made popular by Short Cuts and World Famous by Crash, Lantana had a weaving plot that I found unpredictable and gripping from start to finish. i't snothing fancy, nothing Hollywood about it. Just a great story, great cast and real dialogue. Typically Oz in style, no car chase, no bank robbery and none of the ridiculous circumstance that clotted Crash.
I'm sure few will have heard of it but none would regret this rental. Geoffrey Rush is a mark of quality that should hint at the work here.
