CGiii Comment

If it's overbearing sentimentality that floats your boat...here it is.

Marred by some oafish directorial choices and littered with cliches...Bird needs to raise his bar.

Stale and stagnant.

The(ir) Blurb...

A young man loses his one and only love to the Black Saturday Bush-fires, Australia's worse bush-fire disaster in history. He has lost everything, all that he ever cared for. It's not until twelve months after the disaster that he returns to his beloved ballroom dancing, when he sees his dead partner on the edge of the dance floor. He waltzes with him and says goodbye. Can life ever return to normal?
