Healing (2014)
Directed by Craig
Monahan this film stars Hugo Weaving, Don Hany, Xavier Samuel and
Robert Taylor. At a low security prison in Australia inmates begin
working on rehabilitating birds of prey.
There are times when
this film threatens to get a bit heavy handed when it comes to
comparing the rehabilitation of the birds to that of the prisoners
but in general this is a well told story. It may be a bit of a cop
out that the criminal pasts of the characters is minimised or the
easy route taken with them but it is unlucky that “really bad”
criminals would be in a low security prison. Most of the
cinematography is not that impressive but there are some really nice
shots of the birds in flight.
4/5
