"He wasn't perfect Jack but he loved us and he didn't run when things got tough". (Cel describes her husband to his son Jack, in an emotional outburst).

The beauty of northern Queensland (Paronella Park) stars in this slightly elongated story of Jack (Thomas Cocquerel) and Celeste (Rahda Mitchell). The sheer tranquility of the backdrop adds to the stewing story surrounding the relationship these two characters have. There are side stories and flashbacks which battle to legitimise the reasons they care for each other. Or maybe it's just that Cocquerel looks the part but can't pull off a quality performance. Mitchell, and Nadine Garner as Grace, Celeste's closests companion, are terrific and give a slightly clunky script more bite. Celeste is an emotional mystery piece, with a couple of twists, all shot in a setting which steals the show. Plenty to like - but not quite there!! 7GUMS.
