Wish You Were Here
Dir by Kieran Darcy
A taut, suspenseful story that follows the aftermath and deceit among three people when the fourth in their group mysteriously disappears after a booze and drug filled vacation night in Cambodia. Felicity Price and Joel Edgarton play a couple expecting their third child. The strength of the film lies in the way the couples relationship unravels when secrets begin to expose themselves, and in that way this psychological thriller borrows heavily from the relationship drama genre. It’s a testament to Kieran Darcy’s directing (he was in Animal Kingdom!) that it never gets sappy or indulgent.
