This somewhat dour Australia coming-of-age drama follows suburban Melbourne teen Leo as he grapples with school, friendships, bullies and sexuality. It is told in a rather lethargic and moribund manner with no genre cliché left unturned (even an illuminated Ferris Wheel at night makes an appearance). Performances are solid enough, and after seventy minutes of very restrained and earnest drama, this slight but sincere film ends on a thankfully positive note.
