Synopsis
Dustfall is a propulsive Tropic Noir following detective Tig Pollard as she investigates a harrowing case after 18 year old Edie is found naked in a cane field with no memory of how she got there. What begins as a sexual assault case spirals darker, and Tig’s search for the truth turns personal as someone from her past resurfaces, forcing her to confront long-buried secrets from her own adolescence.
Our take
Anchored by the extraordinary Anna Torv (The Last of Us, The Newsreader, Mindhunter), Dustfall plunges us into the oppressive atmosphere of a remote Queensland community during an investigation into an unspeakable crime. This Australian thriller stands out for its poignant and delicate exploration of trauma in a world where victims’ voices too often collide with denial and silence. A striking and essential work that resonates with particular power in the wake of the Pelicot trial.
