Full reviewA small get-together slowly spirals into an intoxicated shambles full of political and personal strife in this Australian comedy-drama from the Oscar-nominated director of Driving Miss Daisy.
On the night of the 1969 federal election, Don Henderson invites a group of friends to celebrate a predicted Labor Party victory, much to the dismay of his wife, Kath. The Hendersons and their nine guests drink, joke, make love, and fight, all while coming to terms with their individual struggles in life.

Full reviewIt's a dispiriting, ugly experience, cliched rather than illuminating, smarmy rather than funny.
