I have added this to The Rover Review Roundup, in case people are wondering why it’s appearing on the site today, but this extensive analysis is a fantastic read.  I’m just extracting the comment about Robert below, but you really need to head on over to FashCam and read the entire article.  It’s more than worth it:

“Along the way he picks up Rey, the brother of one of the car robbers, a seeming dullard, played by Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame. Rey is first presented as Eric’s hostage, ransom for the return of his car but gradually the two begin to carve a partnership necessary to their mutual survival in this uncertain and violent landscape. Rey reveals he and his brother came to Australia from the States to seek mining work, suggesting that some basic industries may still be operative. When Rey later displays the ability to speak Mandarin, we must reassess our opinion about both him and the geopolitics of this world. The part is a breakthrough performance for the actor who brandishes a convincing Southern accent and reveals a depth of emotion in what is one of the most skilfully interiorized and physically nuanced performances of the year, and if the film had been seen by more people, certainly merits awards nominations.”

And this is why Rob choosing indie roles like Rey are so important, for others to actually want to see a film and recognise his talent.  I feel like framing this article.

    For Rob and David both, having cast him as Rey was a masterstroke. Then what Rob did on The Rover, well, it still blows my mind
