“Crushed” (*1/2 out of four) was a dreary mystery drama set in Australia about a young woman (Sarah Bishop) who returns home to her family vineyard after her father mysteriously dies. His death is initially ruled as a suicide but the more she uncovers, the more she suspects her mother (Roxane Wilson) may be involved and she must uncover the truth. Overlong and sluggish movie is best left for wine connoiseurs only. One brief sequence of watching wine being made and produced is more compelling than the central murder mystery. Good music score though by Aaron Kenny.
