An average character based drama. - The Safety of Objects review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
17/04/2010

I had high hope for this film but it was very much an average character based drama. The film centers around a group of suburban residents, all harbouring deep problems, but hiding their real feelings and family issues under superficial day to day lives. The cast is faultless though the series of individual characters and events never quite come together, and the end result is an awkward messy film which feels muddled and overly long.
