The Screen Guide

Offers a disturbing view of the cycle of violence in a country town in Australia. Tom comes to the shocking realisation that he is repeating his father's behaviour when drunkenness leads to an abusive encounter with his girlfriend. English Common Law defines ‘Rule of Thumb’ as: A man can hit his wife or child with a stick as long as it is not thicker than his thumb.
