Watch One Perfect Day For Free

The Worst Film Ever

A Major Disappointment

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Touted at the time as Australias answer to Human Traffic I decided to give this film a watch. Never have I regretted a decision more. This film I nothing but anti drug propaganda set to a mediocre soundtrack and wooden acting. Don't bother, I have seen better film on teeth after a three day bender.

From the other comments I just read, I found out that this was about trance music and the rave scene. Or is that rave music and the trance scene. Being 52 and American, I didn't know about any of this. I did catch that it was about drugs and young people's susceptibility to drugs and the tragedies that can cause, but even that was obtuse and inaccessible to someone like me.Someone mentioned Pieces of A Dream, and I did think of that one as I watched this. I did not care for that experience as I felt that an artistic and misanthropic director threw all nasty imagery he could think of at his audience and regarded his audience as mere guinea pigs on which to vent his venom. But, at least I understood what was going on. The director, like many reviewers, clearly subscribe to the new mantra of film-making that mandates that the best directors maximize obtuse imagery and minimize words. A lot of guesswork was required.I guess I'm old-fashioned but I still find plot essential and wish to follow one when I see a movie. I needed a prerequisite course in trance and the rave scene in order to understand this one.A friend asked me if I liked Australian movies, and I've loved many of them, about 20 of the 23 I've seen. He lent me this one. Make that, 20 out of 24.

I was recommended this film by a friend. I absolutely loved it. Very artistic. You can tell that the director has a great eye. I would recommend the film highly. The soundtrack is great, an dif you love trance or rave then you will be a huge fan. abbie cornish is also in this film. i think it was one of her first films and now she has broken out in the American market. it looks like this is the film that started her career. she looks so young in it. i am really interested to see what else this director will have coming out. i like his style and can see that he has a unique way of telling a story. does anyone know any updates on what the director is doing nedxt?

Some moments in "One Perfect Day" are total crap, while other moments are nothing short of mini-masterpieces. Let's start with the crap. The title has nothing whatsoever to do with the movie. It doesn't take place in one day, it takes place over many days, and most of the days are pretty horrible. Then there are the cheap story-telling devises. They practically spoon-feed you the plot when the director of a famous opera company talks about the need to find a new musician who can make opera more relevant to the public today, and while he's taking, we're shown images of the young and rebellious Tommy, who hears music in everything from trains to homeless people. Cheesy! But after Tommy's sister dies of a drug overdose and he discovers the world of Australia's club and trance music scene, "One Fine Day" starts to get interesting. Yes, it's full of predictable good guys and bad drug deals, but the music is transcendental! When Tommy is spinning at an all-night beach rave and his dead girlfriend is singing while he's playing violin, the music is nothing short of ecstasy for the ear. I honestly can't decide if I love it or hate it.
