Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

mrnunleygo This was a terrific movie if you let it be what it is: a character-driven drama about a marriage challenged by an occurrence too frightening to be ignored. I watched it because I'm a Teresa Palmer fan, but it was Felicity Price (also co-screenwriter) who was the revelation. The opening montage of Cambodia captured the other-worldliness that tourists in Asia often experience but also the joy they brought with them to that experience; later reminders that introduced flashbacks also brought in the sense of menace that goes with encounters with the unfamiliar. The acting was great, the actions of the characters quite believable taken in context. Scenes with children have the potential to wreck otherwise good movies, but those here were excellent. I agree with reviewers who think the movie was slow-moving and there were times I wanted to move on to the next scene, but notwithstanding this it held my interest throughout.

dipesh parmar 'Wish You Were Here' is the debut feature from Australian director Kieran Darcy-Smith. A group of Australians visit Cambodia for a holiday, where under mysterious circumstances only three of the original four tourists come back home.Steph (Teresa Palmer) was invited by her new boyfriend Jeremy (Antony Starr) to come with him to Cambodia where he often travels to for business. Still only a few weeks into their romance, Steph wanted to be certain of her safety so she asks her sister Alice (Felicity Price) and husband Dave (Joel Edgerton) to accompany them.Rushing backwards and forwards in time, 'Wish You Were Here' slowly pieces together the mystery surrounding Jeremy's disappearance. Just as fascinating is the reasons why everyone else has not been totally honest with each other. Alice and Dave's relationship suffers, all in plain sight of their young children. Their unabashed abandon on holiday is shown in a quite different form at home, we're intrigued as to why certain actions were necessary by each when only harm was the outcome.Part thriller and part domestic drama, 'Wish You Were Here' is an ambiguous story which keeps you interested until the inevitable conclusion. Sometimes uncomfortable to watch, Price and Edgerton play their parts perfectly, a typically normal couple with huge unwanted responsibilities on their shoulders. Darcy-Smith does a fine job in knitting together a quite straightforward drama into something watchable and insightful.

perkypops The plot is simple, two couples visit Cambodia but only three people return, and the film spends its time skilfully cutting between then and now until we understand what went on during the trip, and also understand the unfolding dramatic relationship between the three who make the return trip.As a film I thought the acting, the script, the cinematography and the sound were all very commendable. Although the plot format is not original it is very well done after a seemingly confusing opening few minutes leaves you thinking you may have blinked once too often, as the opening credits run with the film. But once the film has settled down the action is driven by the acting and the script, which are always thoughtful. The film makes no attempt to sentimentalise anything but reveals the story as if we are eavesdropping on the actors. There are several poignant moments which are down to great performances by all concerned.It would be good to see some more output from this stable because there is real promise on show.

leonblackwood Review: I wasn't that impressed with this film. I found it quite boring and the storyline became a bit annoying because the director kept on using flashbacks for the audience to piece together. You have to wait ages before anything really happens, which is a shame because the concept wasn't that bad. The performances were fairly average, but it's really the direction that let's the movie down. On the plus side, I did like the ending, when everything finally comes to light, but it's not enough to save the movie. Average!Round-Up: Joel Edgerton has really come to light recently, with major roles in The Great Gatsby and Warrior, he really can't complain about how his career has progressed. He only really shined in this movie towards the end, but that's not due to his acting ability. He usually brings great emotion to his roles, which is why I chose to go with this movie, but the pace was way too slow. I think that the audiences were also disappointed with this movie, judging by the dreadful takings at the box office, but it's not that bad if you want something to pass the time, at home.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $50,000 (Terrible!)I recommend this movie to people who are into there dramas about 2couples journey away together, which takes a turn for the worst. 3/10
