Three Dollars is a refreshingly honest and compassionate film that highlights the economic and idealistic struggles of a decent man in an amoral world. It mirrors similar themes to last year's Tom White, but explores more deeply the collapse of the family unit. Wenham delivers an understated yet strong performance as Eddie, and the chemistry with Frances O'Connor is electrifying. Joanna Hunt-Prokhovnik gives a striking performance as daughter Abby, and one of the films highlights has to be Wenham's dance to the music of Joy Division. This film made me wonder if love could tear us apart.
