Review: Ewan McDonald

Expat Kiwi Christina Andreef steps out from Jane Campion's shadow to direct her first film, a black comedy of four adult children heading home to industrial Port Kembla to nurse their dying mum, Patsy (Muriel's Wedding mum, Jeanie Drynan).

It's the first time in eight years that the three sisters, their ex-con brother and their stiff-necked dad have been under the same roof.

Tensions mount, as they do in families, as mum passes what remains of her days in morphine-induced haze.
