Review by Michael Lesch (posted on 26-Oct-2008)

Lantana is a flowering tropical plant... and a very entertaining drama. This solid, well acted story weaving in the woes of adult relationships should have Hollywood taking particular notice of this impressive and overlooked Australian effort starring Anthony LaPaglia and Barbara Hershey. This is a delicate and complicated story of men and women getting tangled in adultery that somehow is subtly meshed within a baffling murder mystery. This does get complex but still remains surprisingly credible and keeps viewer glued with interest and fascination. Geoffrey Rush lends a subdued yet solid support but it's Kerry Armstrong's performance that like this story will tug at your heart strings as well as challenge your thinking.
