Eric Bana as Aaron Falk on a cropped poster of The Dry
If it’s a movie set in a quaint, quiet town, there’s probably a mountain of dark secrets lurking beneath the surface — and in that regard, The Dry delivers. The film itself is set in Kiewarra, an Australian farming community under the thumb of drought and tragedy. Eric Bana stars as Aaron Falk, a federal agent returning to his childhood hometown for a funeral. But it’s not just another somber visit, there are layers to it that Aaron never imagined.
‘The Dry’s Layered Timelines Deepen the Mystery of Kiewarra A lot of elements have to align for a movie to seamlessly move between two timelines, and in that regard, The Dry hits the target. Right from the start, viewers aren’t merely wrapping their heads around Luke’s death in the present, but they equally have to explore the circumstances surrounding Ellie’s unsolved murder in the past.
Posts As seamlessly interconnected as the timelines are, they don’t give everything away. The moment the pieces of the puzzle start to fit, another flashback throws in a detail about Ellie’s death that changes everything. By weaving these timelines so tightly, The Dry doesn’t just deliver an intricate and well-thought-out story, it creates a setup where the past and present are in constant conversation — and it’s not a very straightforward exchange.
