Another feather in the cap of the Australian film industry, this quirky little indie movie is thoroughly delightful. A precocious12-year old girl (think Anne of Green Gables) befriends a new student who claims to be a visitor from another dimension. Her home life is somewhat unsettled--her mom suffers from depression due to losing her infant daughter and her father is a recluse, because of a fallout with his fabulously rich brother. The story takes a number of amusing twists and turns as she tries to reunite her family. It's pretty offbeat while remaining just this side of being campy.
4 out of 5 stars
