This probably won't get much of a release in the US, but it has been reviewed well here so far:

Early contender for best Australian film of 2009. Following its world premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival, expect to see the film pop up at major festivals around the world this year.

It’s about two kids, young teenagers in a community in the central desert. Samson, (ROWAN McNAMARA) is a petrol-sniffing layabout who would play music if only his brother would let him.

He fancies Delilah, (MARISSA GIBSON) who looks after her grandmother – played by her real life grandmother, MITJILI GIBSON – and helps her with her artworks.

Delilah is a very self-contained young woman. When her grandmother dies and the community blames Delilah, quite ferociously, she and Samson take off for Alice Springs where they live on the fringe, unable to get life together.

This is for me one of the most wonderful films this country has ever produced.

5/5 & 5/5

I'm hoping to see it very soon.
