dirt music

Dirt Music is a quiet and contemplative movie about unrequited love, loss, desire, family and letting go. Set in Australia, it’s a romantic drama adapted from Tim Winton’s 2002 novel, and the story grows on you.

Dirt Music would have made a brilliant TV series, there is so much character and backstory to unpack. That is the biggest criticism for this epic love triangle set in the sweeping expanse of arid Western Australia. Placed in the right hands, it could have been the next Netflix hit potboiler — the Ozark of Australia.
