Less is less in the initially intriguing, ultimately frustrating Australian thriller “You’ll Never Find Me.”
In a lonely trailer at the far end of a park, a man lives with only his own mind as company. There’s something almost poetic about his solitude; it’s the kind of masculine isolation often mythologized in fiction. His name is Patrick and he’s exactly the kind of man you would expect to find alone, muttering to himself.
We first see Patrick sitting at a table, presumably struggling to gather his thoughts. Then a violent storm begins raging outside. Occasionally, his front door is illuminated with lightning, glowing behind a modest white curtain. During this almost apocalyptic downpour, there’s a knock at the door. In walks a young woman , thin and attractive, with long brown hair and big, expressive eyes. She asks to use the phone, but Patrick suspects his mysterious guest wants something else from him.
If only there were more of a point to Patrick’s conflict with his visitor. The film never makes a good case for why we’re following this man in particular and what makes his inner demons unique.only has enough characterization for a short film. Stretched to feature length, it fails to reach the depths of Lynne Ramsay’sanother story about a male loner grappling with his inner demons.
