FR: Picnic at Hanging Rock

I really didn’t like this movie all that much. The movie is about a shool having a field trip to Hanging Rock Volcano. The head mistress is there telling the girls about the dangers associated with hanging rock. Soon four girls climb the rock and then disappear. One of the four is found later on in the movie, but she does not know what happened. The movie is kind of boring in that the whole time they are wondering what happened to the other three girls. One of the women working at the school tries to look for the girls, but goes missing as well. She is seen running around in her underwear before going missing. The rest of the movie revolves around the search for the girls. The one girl was found, but the other girls are never found. Also, the head mistress of the school dies without explanation. The movie really doesn’t tell you all the much of what happened, it just leaves you wondering how they died and what happened to the other girls. Also, this all takes place on Valentines Day. I thought this movie was just kind of strange. After the somewhat exciting part, they began to look for the girls and I expected that at the end they would find them and the entire thing would be explained, but the movie just doesn’t really tell you much. The movie does show some of landscape on of Hanging Rock, which is found in Australia. Other than that, this movie is kind of pointless, the movie just leaves you with questions as to what happened and kind of annoys you by not answering them. Overall, I did not like this movie very much. I do feel that it would be a much better movie if they had just showed what happened to the girls at the end.
