review:

"As usual, the curtain raisers are a mixed bag. One exception is Janet Merewether's Contemporary Case Studies...a tartly funny take on sex and romance, couched as an old fashioned training film and updated with split-screens and irreverent observation. Merewether is the NYFF's latest female discovery from down under, following in the footsteps of Jane Campion and Alison Maclean.
Amy Taubin, Village Voice (review of NYFF)
