The Dry
Overview
It takes Federal Agent Aaron Falk (Eric Bana) 20 years to return to his hometown, and it is because Luke (Martin Dingle Wall), one of his childhood friends, has died. Luke has killed himself after murdering his family, falling victim to the madness that is going through their area after a decade of drought. As Falk stays to investigate the case, he opens up an old wound: the death of Ellie (BeBe Bettencourt). He realizes that a connection can be made between the two crimes, but as he does, he finds himself needing to prove not only Luke's, but also his innocence. Directed by Robert Connolly.

Reviews:
"[It] provides a strong vehicle for the return of Eric Bana, stepping into air thick with anxiety and suspicion to lead his first homegrown feature in more than a decade." - 05/17/2021 Hollywood Reporter
3 stars out of 5 -- "This is a 'whodunit,' but the atmosphere is not generic in any way, and the immense heat is felt in every scene, where the fields and tinder-box trees look stunted and almost terrified." - 05/21/2021 RogerEbert.com
"The barren earth surrounding a drought-stricken Aussie town provides fertile ground for mystery, suspense and punchy emotional drama in THE DRY." - 01/22/2021 Variety
"The many red herrings and the dark-secret finale recall the reliable, compulsive appeal of a page-turner..." - 05/20/2021 New York Times
"Robert Connolly’s new film, THE DRY, is a mystery at heart: An investigation into a small-town murder-suicide that inevitably kicks up the dust of other peoples’ secrets and picks the scabs on barely-healed wounds." - 05/21/2021 Rolling Stone
