Product description

Federal Agent Aaron Falk returns to his home-town, after an absence of over twenty years, to attend the funeral of his childhood friend, Luke, who allegedly killed his wife and child before taking his own life--a victim of the madness that has ravaged this community after more than a decade of drought. When Falk reluctantly agrees to stay and investigate the crime, he opens up an old wound--the death of 17-year-old Ellie Deacon. Falk begins to suspect these two crimes, separated by decades, are connected. As he struggles to prove not only Luke's innocence but also his own, Falk finds himself pitted against the prejudice towards him and pent-up rage of a terrified community.

Worth a watch
Reviewed in Australia on 14 May 2021
Verified Purchase
This movie has a typical Australian cinematic feel - set un rural Australia, it features quintessential working-class blokes who think a village member who left to go to the city to work is a sell-out. It features the detrimental effects that a mob mentality can have when mob judgements of others are based on personal bias. It was very enjoyable but like everything Australian made - it's all from the male perspective - men feature front and centre. The women in it are perceived as victims, as suspicious or as something to be desired.

Well worth watching
Reviewed in Australia on 4 July 2021

I really enjoyed this movie. Having read the book, I wasn't sure how the complexities of the plot would translate onto the big screen, but they have done a very good job. The characters are well rounded and the acting is very good overall. My only quibble is that the denouement seems rushed to me, but overall, it's well worth watching.

Great Aussie film
Reviewed in Australia on 31 May 2021
Verified Purchase
I clocked this movie, as first time ever I saw one with critics giving 100 out of 100 points. So, watched it at last and it didn't disappoint. Eric Bana and John Poulson are of course very recognisable and great actors but the supporting cast is excellent as well. The local police officer stuck especially in mind. Cinematograpghy is punchy, really bringing home the sunburnt landscape. I loved the juxtaposition of this majestic, dry, indifferent stage, where the rich and messy human story was playing out.And the story itself - not going to say anything here, you have to watch it. But the age old human issues are explored in a heartrending way. This one stays with you.

Not bad, but not great either
Reviewed in Australia on 13 June 2021

I’d read the book, but didn’t recognise - or didn’t remember - the plot. The country town setting, some of the characters and a prolonged drought are all here, it’s just that I seem to remember the plot in the book was much more complex. Admittedly it’s now some time since I read the book, and of course things have to be simplified and characters and details omitted to make a viable film script. The acting, especially Eric Bana’s, was fine and the cinematography excellent.

Superb outback mystery.
Reviewed in Australia on 22 June 2021
Verified Purchase
'The Dry' is a beautifully shot and acted mystery set in an outback town during a harsh drought. City police detective Aaron Falk (Eric Bana) arrives back in town after twenty years for the funeral of his old mate Luke only to find that Luke's murder suicide is not as simple as it seems and that the rancour of the drowning of a teenaged girl that drove Aaron away in the first place has not abated. Accomplished director Robert Connolly gets the best out of a talented cast while the setting and music (including an aching rendition of The Church's 'Under the Milky Way' by actor Bebe Bettencourt) evoke the sombre mood most effectively. Highly recommended.

Great Aussie Crime Fiction
Reviewed in Australia on 14 May 2021
Verified Purchase
"The Dry" has been adapted from the book by a very talented new Aussie author, Jane Harper. The story came to my notice on searching Eric Bana on IMDB. I had 2 thoughts: 1) Gotta see this film, but, 2) Gotta read the book first. The book was a tremendous read, and the film a superb adaptation. Congratulations to all - 1) Jane Harper for a superb piece of crime fiction, and 3) All involved in the film production, especially the cast, particularly Eric Bana, who anchored the film beautifully. Hopefully there will be more adaptations of Jane's books, particularly "Force of Nature" with Eric back as Aaron Falk. Cheers, Andy C.

Great Australian Whodunnit
Reviewed in Australia on 17 June 2021

Eric Bana is outstanding in this role of a policeman returning to the suffocating small country town of his youth (and its tragedy), after a tragic event involving an old friend.

With many twists and turns exposing the aridness of drought and suffering around him, he finally gets to the bottom of it in a spine chilling finale.

Great supporting roles by fantastic actors Jon Poulson and Irish/Australian Genevieve O'Reilly who bring the depth of their long and storied careers to these roles.

Well worth watching and deservedly one of the most seen Australian movies in history now.

Beautifully shot, interesting storyline but lacked something
Reviewed in Australia on 19 April 2021
Verified Purchase
Always love to see the Australian landscape captured so beautifully. This story came with the usual litany of local critics wanting to crow about the brilliance of Australian film production but as is often the case, the product didn't quite match the hype. The story had potential and was interesting enough, however, it just lacked a bit of scripting polish. It seemed to meander along for 100 minutes before suddenly wrapping up with the usual twist - but the ending was rushed and felt more like a movie that was told it had to wrap up within two hours so the ending was hastily tacked onto the end. A shame as it had potential for more. Overall, worth watching - but could have been better.

A satisfying and strong Austrailian noir with a excellent lead performance by Eric Bana. It's has a tough, compelling, absorbing atmosphere with characters to boot and keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.

Good Movie
Reviewed in the United States on 30 March 2022
Verified Purchase
The movie has a good story, where a 30-something police officer returns to his hometown for an old friend's funeral. By outward appearances his friend killed his family and then himself, but his friend's parents don't believe it. The police officer teams up with the local police to investigate.

Complicating matters is that the police officer left his hometown under a cloud of suspicion as teenage, due to the mysterious death of his girlfriend.

Bana was good, as always. My only complaint is that I could not understand about 40% of the dialogue. Not just the accent, they mumble like they're Australian or something. Good screenplay and direction.
