Quick Answer

What is Tomboys about?

Tomboys is a 2009 Australian horror film directed by Nathan Hill about a sexual assault survivor and her friends who kidnap a serial rapist to enact vigilante justice after being failed by the legal system.

Programmer's Pick

Tomboys doesn’t pull its punches: this is raw, independent rape-and-revenge horror with a gender-flipped twist and little patience for the slow wheels of justice. If you like your catharsis uncompromising and your vigilantes fed up, Tomboys has your number.

Overview

Tomboys plunges into the aftermath of trauma, focusing on Kat, a sexual assault survivor who, along with four other victimized women, takes drastic action against a notorious serial rapist. Disillusioned by a justice system that refuses to protect them, the group orchestrates a high-stakes abduction in a remote location, intent on delivering their own form of vengeance. The film explores the psychological toll of revenge as the women confront not only their assailant, but also the limits of their own morality. As tensions escalate, the line between justice and brutality begins to blur, raising unsettling questions about retribution, empowerment, and the lasting scars of violence.
