Aroview: Sunbaked, nostalgic Aussie coming-of-age drama centred on four teenage orphans whose tight friendships are tested when a family looks likely to adopt one (and only one) of them.

Based on the classic Michael Noonan novel, and notable as the first post-HARRY POTTER outing for star Daniel Radcliffe, it’s a film of small moments and pleasures. Beautiful photography ensures an evocative, misty-eyed view of 1960s Australia.
