Thriller Indigenous Detective Jay Swan arrives in the frontier town of "Goldstone" on a missing persons enquiry. What seems like a simple "light duties" investigation opens into a web of crime and corruption.

	Media	Author	Review
		Luke Buckmaster The Guardian	"A masterpiece of outback noir that packs a political punch (...) What a hell of a film (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Serena Donadoni Village Voice	"A brutal, unforgiving work (...) [Sen] stocks 'Goldstone' with taciturn characters oozing menace."
		Harry Windsor The Hollywood Reporter	"A striking, not entirely satisfying outback western (...) [The] delicacy comes and goes."
		Eddie Cockrell Variety	"[Sen imbues] the tech package with a vision at once accessible and tangibly personal (...) A focused, unified piece."
		Tara Brady Irish Times	"A nuanced depiction of Australian racism (...) Everything in the screenplay is neatly counterpointed (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Louise Keller Urbancinefile	"The best thing about the film is the mood, which resonates throughout; Sen's stamp is firmly all over the film"
		Sarah Ward Screendaily	"No one shoots the country’s landscape with as much conflicted emotion as Ivan Sen (...) [Pedersen is] one of Australia’s best working actors"
