Nothing sanitised in this production, so many stories interlinked ( style reminded me of The Turning) , real people just trying to get by , love of family, migrants trying hard to make the best of things in a new country, mixed race friendships forming, the ridicule people suffer, the generational gap relevant to all peoples, all so honest - the Eternal Dance segment was so beautifully told , the Musician so sad , I cried with the young nurse - and then we saw her story her own separation . We really loved this film and all its stories , and all its peoples - a very brave and wonderful project ! Congratulations to all involved !

An honest portrayal
Must Watch if a Sydney Sider
I thought it was just great to see all the different migrant communities represented in a local Australian production. Sure some of them were amateurs but the writing was solid as was the directing.
Sometimes you just don't realise how many different communities make up this great city of ours.
Plus, it was refreshing to see normal looking people represented in a major production and given a go at the roles of the crew as well.
The stories really came together well and I didn't think at any point that it was far fetched or poorly shot.
I'd highly recommend this to all Austalians!
Give it a go!
Not interesting and not moving
Nothing worth viewing here, it's a diverse-hire film. Nothing compelling, nothing heart-wrenching at all, there are no real conflicts or stakes in the story.
This is a TV Mini-series at best not for the big screen.
Just watch the trailer and see if you ae moved.
A bunch of short films connecting to a larger story which doesn't really work for this film format and is not seamless at all, if anything there are cracks in the story especially with some amateur acting. I applaud a cast of unknowns but at least bring truth to characters to Western Sydney.
Here Out West tries to avoid cliche's and stereotypes but in doing so you are represented with boring, unrealistic characters that are not interesting or believable.
A pat on the back for trying but this isn't a moving story at all, and I promise you it's not emotional and it won't stay with you, you'll forget about it as soon as you finish watching it.
