Sometimes it’s Better To Omit the Truth….
Four woman, each with a well hidden secret, that could slash the very fabric of their lives. Through a veil of lies, all four first with the truth, but the lies they tell themselves might be the ones that hurt the most.
With a menacing atmosphere and featuring performances from an ensemble cast (Leverne McDonnell, Gail Watson, Nina Landis and Louise Siversen), Four of a Kind is an "emotionally lacerating” tale of betrayal and deceit.
Acclaimed by critics world-wide, this is one thriller you won’t want to miss.
*********
"[The] film holds interest all the way through and at the end you’re left intrigued and satisfied, with a number of tantalising questions hanging in the air. It’s Fiona Cochrane’s first venture into fiction. She’d previously made documentaries, including RACHEL: A PERFECT LIFE. In this she shows she can elicit impressive performances from her strong cast, based on Collins’s intelligent screenplay." Margaret Pomeranz, At The Movies
“The performances shine in Fiona Cochrane’s debut feature, a neatly plotted thriller based on Helen Collins’ four act play Disclosure… Joe Camilleri & the Black Sorrows provide bluesy, on-screen punctuation.” Tom Ryan, The Age
“Murder, infidelity, blackmail are all woven together in a fascinating tale that is as compelling as a whole, just as each of its self-contained components… The thrust of writer director Fiona Cochrane’s script is terrific and the revelations intriguing… Universal in its appeal, but with special resonance to women, this seemingly simple film is deceptively complex, and lingers accordingly.” Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile
“Strong, promising female drama… Not far off being a hidden Australian gem that you should race out to, Four Of A Kind does demonstrate how low-budget, independent Australian films can warrant a much better showcase than one screen in one city.” Empire Magazine
"Australian Fiona Cochrane’s debut feature is a genre thriller, relatively simple on the surface but relying on sharp verbal interplay and an intangible, yet menacing atmosphere which recalls SLEUTH in a plot twisting tale of a bourgeoisie who lack any discernible discreet charms." Paul Harris, Film Buff's Forecast
"‘Tingling’ with adult tension! Despite my distaste for the awards game, I hope this movie gets at least four acting nominations." John Flaus, The Melbourne Review
