Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

ShangLuda Admirable film.

stylized Living local to the Hawkesbury River and often riding the train journey through it, the mind would often drift and create many worlds inspired by this place. It is perhaps one of the more surreal places i have journeyed through in Australia.To see these world come to life in this film was a real joy. In my opinion the director did a fantastic job in taking the audience of this film into another world, a true journey. The projection of the Ausralian way of life was captured in a much more true and realistic light than many Ausralian films have to date. if anyone has made the train journey through the Hawkesbury River and looked out the window in wonder, i cant recommend this film strongly enough, enjoy

jfcousin2001 Australia. The story of a young man who chooses to work on an oyster farm. The work is tough, the hero is penniless. He is desperate to pay for the recovery of his sister injured in a car accident. A very pleasant film to watch. It's about human relationships including two love stories of course. But it's very well played, subtle and... shot in the magnificent wilderness of Australia. Just one thing that you won't find in the movie is native Australians. There's a hint about pollution in the rivers however. The photography is very well executed. Let me give a special mention to the main actor. Watch out for his name in the future. Go and see the movie if you have the possibility. Just don't be fooled by its title. You won't regret it.

dhincks Oyster Farmer is a very enjoyable romantic comedy, one of the best I've seen for a while. Why is it so good? The plot is entertaining, well thought out and moves at a rapid pace - I didn't detect any real lulls. The characters are what you'd expect of a working class rural Australian community - warts and all. I didn't recognise any of the actors from other films but I think they did a great job of getting the viewer into the story. In addition I laughed out loud a number of times - not something that happens too often!! I really enjoyed the aerial shots of the Hawkesbury River, very relaxing and reminding me of a holiday I once spent in the region.Overall Oyster Farmer is a real gem.

Andrew Sherlock This is a very gentle movie that, while being quite relaxing offers little real dramatic content.The characters are endearing enough and there are some nice comedic touches. Cinematography is reasonable, although one feels at the end of the movie that not quite enough was made of the wonderful location. Most of the movie seems to take place in mid-shot, making it seem a little soap-opera for my tastes.There is one too many sub-plot in the movie, and along with some confusing chronological chopping up of the narrative, this spoils an otherwise decent film.By all means go and see it, or rent it - it's enjoyable enough.Just don't expect anything terribly stimulating.
