Erik Jensen (Toby Wallace) is only 19 when he is sent to talk a Archibald Prize-winning painter Adam Cullen (Daniel Henshall) during home in a Blue Mountains. The confront goes good adequate that Cullen invites a immature Sydney Morning Herald publisher to write his biography. So follows a years-long and doubtful attribute between a alcoholic, smackhead, misogynist painter and a younger, gay, rather directionless writer. While Thomas M. Wright’s instrumentation of Jensen’s discourse of a same name attempts to support this as an confront from that both gained, it never utterly becomes explicable as anything other than a bully-victim attribute in that Jensen (who co-wrote a screenplay) is shot at, dumped from a relocating motorbike, and regularly humiliated, while Cullen slides inexorably towards an early death. It’s a grave mural of poisonous masculinity, not most relieved by meaningful that Jensen did indeed get his prerogative eventually – and arguably his revenge, too.
