Australia (2016) presents a haunting exploration of obsession wrapped in a tense drama. The film's atmosphere is thick with Helena's desperation, and the pacing feels almost suffocating at times, matching her emotional turmoil. The sound design, particularly with the baby monitor, creates an unsettling intimacy that draws you into her fractured state of mind. Performances are raw, especially from the lead, who embodies that mix of yearning and madness. It’s a portrayal of a woman pushed to her limits; the practical effects and minimal setup keep the focus tightly on her psychological unraveling. There's something distinctly unnerving about how the film handles themes of motherhood and jealousy, making it a compelling, if uncomfortable, watch.
