YOUR RATING

When rebellious 16-year-old Grace (rising star Odessa Young) takes off on her own, her exasperated parents (Radha Mitchell and Richard Roxburgh) enlist the help of a close-to-retirement detective, and begin the long drive from Perth to the West Australian Wheatbelt to try to find her. Looking for Grace is about how we make sense of the mess of our lives and what it all means. It is a wry drama about lies, secrets, small and large griefs and, of course, love.

Trivia
The scene set in an outback bar in the wheat fields of WA contains two extras at the bar. The extras were not in fact Australian, but two British holiday makers passing by during filming.

Goofs
At the end of the movie they are heading home, but they are heading west into the sunset, with the pipeline still on the right hand side, which is the same direction they were heading out towards Ceduna when they were trying to find Grace.

An over enthusiastically confusing film

As I sat there at the Melbourne premier of Looking for Grace, I sat in confusion for the first 25 minutes as I struggled to see what kind of movie was being played out. The film did gradually slow into a good pace, but the first 25-35 minutes were unbearable. The camera-work and visual aspects of the film were all very well done, mostly due to the location of Western Australia. The interweaving stories worked well however there wasn't much detail or substance to much of it, to make it more easy to follow. But in some parts it was hard to say that it wasn't a missed opportunity. The acting wasn't great, especially for serious scenes, this very much so affected the tone as a serious scene was set up but came across as comedic. Odessa Young was passable. Her performance didn't excel in any scene and for a film with her name making up half the title, you expect that. To conclude, the film did get the story on track with the help of a very surprising moment near the end which was very well set up. But other than that, it came across as dull and confusing. 5/10
