    LaPaglia is police detective Leon Zat. How's Zat? Glad you asked - he's trying to jog off a paunch; trying not to let a one-night stand with Jane (Blake) turn into an affair; trying to reconnect with his wife Sonja (Armstrong); trying to find Valerie (Hershey), a psychiatrist who has vanished; trying to keep it all together, basically, before he implodes. That's Zat's story, but it only begins to suggest the complexity of this multi-layered, deeply satisfying movie. Lawrence and screenwriter Andrew Bovell revisit more than half-a-dozen characters before, during and after the crucial disappearance - an enigma at the centre of a shifting kaleidoscope of intersecting lives. Comparisons have been made with Altman and Paul Thomas Anderson, but Lantana is less flamboyant than its American counterparts. Lawrence never looks down on his characters. He holds them at eye slevel, close and even. Just occasionally he lets down his exceptional actors, spelling out subtleties embedded in the performances, but this is nit-picking, really. This rare thriller insists that the most compelling mysteries are buried in human relationships. LaPaglia gives the performance of his career.

    Never quite sure with free stuff but when I saw the cast included Anthony Lapaglia and Geoffrey Rush I thought it would be worth a watch. I enjoyed it , a good mini study if you like of relationships. I felt sorry for Jane though in terms of her friendship with Paula deteriorating - she did the right thing in telling the police but got vilified for it. Worth watching

    It's a story about relationships and choices..... and how they are dealt with by each character. Not your typical American cheesy/ over dramatised can't relate to kinda movie. Very enjoyable..real characters that are easy to relate to with great acting by all the cast. Really worth watching.

    It could happen to anyone...Middle age confusion, passion, insecurity, suspiccion. Real life, real people, real struggles. Great screenplay and great acting! The world is very small..our lives roll on into each other in a way or another. Shall we hide, what to hide! Great evening, made my day!

    Brilliant film for what it is. Superb acting, especially form the cops wife - facial expressions etc. A bit of everything; Murder, mystery, sex, romance, violence, intrigue... Even a touch of comedy! Watch the cop whilst he is out jogging one day! I defy anyone to guess 'who done it' before the interview near the end!! A bit of a slow quiet film but worth a watch.
