Before Dawn

Don't know why this film has so many knockers. i thought it was great.

Nup it was solid and I refuse to hear otherwise. I freaking loved it. Some very clever acting in parts.

was very average, wanted to fast forward, got seriously bored, did not arouse any other emotion. Kept thinking this looks like a tractor just dug a hole in out back Western Australia.. fake snow was TERRIBLE.. Cheesy Australian trite / accents and not very convincing.. would have been more interesting putting some of the trench soil under a microscope

I’m not sure as to why there is so many negative reviews. This film really captures the poignant truth of the war and its effect on Australian culture at the time. These where adolescent men who where sold a false romanticised dream and experienced so much loss and horror. Young men who where forced to make life or death decisions; see their best mates die and loose so much. Those who survived and came back were never truly understood and on some cases created multigenerational trauma.

WW1 mateship movies are an Aussie staple. This is ok, but obviously lacked budget for anything other than a few young actors on the way up.

Not popular with the usual suspects but I thought this was a good watch . Well-acted and authentic film about the brave ANZACS

Dissapointing, tried to hard to be like other popular movies presenting the Western Front withour adding anything original. It lacked in solid character development and much of a plot.

I much preferred Danger Close over this heap of garbage

Having served in the ADF and having family members who fought on both sides during WW1 and WW2 this movie was wonderful. I am an avid War Film watcher and I was cautious about Before Dawn at first as Australian Film tends to disappoint but this Movie has the opposite reaction. The sound track, the cinematic’s, the dark humour, the acting and actors all blended together to make an homogeneous mixture of beauty, suspense, and a wide variety of emotions. This is up there on my personal favourite war films.

Have you ever watched a movie that bit right down to the bone, metaphorically speaking? That's this movie for me. The bits of dark humor. The fighting for those next to you. The feeling that you shouldn't have made it. It all came through clear as a bell. Great music. Great acting. Great writing. Great story. Amazing movie. And to those who did...
