Indianna Bell and Josiah Allen pour on the moody weather-beaten gloom in You'll Never Find Me; a slow-burn Australian chamber piece thriller.
. A slow-burn Australian chamber piece thriller that twists and turns its way to a relatively chaotic conclusion.
So begins a nervy dance of mistrust between the two. The film asks the question, ”Who, if anyone, is the villain of this piece?” and for a decent stretch, there’s genuine mystery in the question. The visitor has holes in her story, but seems to be incredibly wary of Patrick, who appears to be making excuses to keep her there. He could just be lonely, of course, and everything about his home suggests a self-enforced captivity.
As both, somewhat reluctantly, reveal their life stories to each other, it seems they might actually have something in common. I almost began to suspect a wild turn in the tale that the film was just playing up to the paranoia of two strangers brought together by circumstance in a place that doesn’t exactly feel welcoming.
But it does not take away from two compelling performances from Rock and Cowan. You’ll Never Find Me struggles at times to make a convincing argument for either character’s innocence or potential sinister intent, but the duo do their utmost to convince you with the way they convey it. Be that in facial expressions, shifts in body language, or in verbal exchanges.
