Alex and Vicki are wild girls, torching hedgs, smoking dope, and just hanging out both in and out of school. Allegiance is owed to on one but each other and to a plan of escape. But the ground on which you base your hopes can shift and growing up tough in Melbourne's outer surburban fringe is a journey that can be made by only the brave. Director Kokkinos' vision of the contemporary teen war zone of ragged emotions, sex, boredom, and an all-prevading sense of abandonment swims before you eye in a heated haze of anger and longing. Assured, intense, incisive, tough, moving-the adjectives pile up in any assessment of this powerful film.
