Robert Connolly's The Dry is a good slow burn mystery that doesn't reinvent the cinematic wheel, but has solid craftmanship and excellent performances. Aaron Falk (Eric Bana) returns to his drought stricken hometown in the Outback to attend the memorial service of a friend who, allegedly, murdered his wife and child before committing suicide. The visit triggers memories for Falk (and flashbacks for the audience) of a lost love who died under mysterious circumstances. Bana underplays nicely in a film that values characterization over mayhem.
