The movie's remaining revelations build slowly into a set of surprisingly powerful emotional beats.

The frustration here is that none of this leads anywhere. Perhaps that is the point, that some mysteries are never solved, but Jindabyne could give us a little more to work with.

The movie is beautifully shot, and succeeds in being deeply disturbing and mysterious, with richly achieved nuances of characterisation. I have seen it two or three times now, and each time it gets better.

Subtle and understated, a meditation on morality, mortality and murder that escalates into a small emotional powerhouse.
