Set in 1825 a young Irish convict woman, chases a British officer through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. On the way she enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.
Intense period revenge drama doesn't spare the audience the horror of its rape and murder scenes, but rather grips us with unrelenting realism, its direct take on female suppression and racism and its dark, brooding atmosphere, enhanced by excellent cinematography of the Australian wilderness and strong performances throughout.
